I want to create a directory share for Windows 2000 Server that any user can write to. However, I want it so when users add or create files, they can’t view or modify others’ data. This works out fine, but how do you make it so the owner of a folder can’t change the permissions, while still leaving them as the owner? Otherwise users could deny Admins permissions to that file, and then admins would have to reset the permissions for that file which can be time-consuming. Any ideas?

I have a home network with 2 XP boxes and 1 Windows Server 2003.
