user privilege

[lavender]

good day !

I need to know if there is a way to prevent a standard user of xp from deleting files in the computer!? the thing that when i save my files and folder some kids keep deleting them but i need the files to be on the desktop...can i?
does it have to do with the user privilege?

You could set it up so that they have their own 'Limited Account'.  That way nothing they change will affect you.

well, there are also some files that i keep for them to use like each kid save his work in his file but they keep deleting each other files so

You could set them each up with their own account.  Again, I would suggest making it a 'Limited Account'.

i cant just set an account for each of them...imagine a computer with almost 11 user name

If you don't want to follow Quantos' advice you can use ntfs permissions, but other than that you'll need a third party app to lock certain folders if you want to. Still, separate user accounts is probably the best solution.
