windows 8.1 - How can I prevent a folder from being inadvertently deleted by myself?




I have a very important folder on my Desktop. I occasionally clean up my desktop and I am very concerned that I might delete the mentioned folder inadvertently. Is there a way to prevent such a disaster without limiting my frequent read-write operations on the folder's content? Note I don't mind deleting the content inside the folder one by one on occasion but the folder itself matters to me. If it is deleted, I lose a lot of efforts.


Answer



Don't try to avoid the inevitable. Use backups and version control.



You could deny yourself the Delete permission though. Deleting files and folders within that directory is a separate permission that you could also disable when required.
