Window 2000 : How to protect a file from being deleted ?
In Windows XP you can right-click on a file (or a group of files) in
Explorer then select Properties and in the General Tab you can see
Attributes at the bottom of the panel - check Read-only then click
Apply then OK. Now when you try to delete a file you will get a
warning message - "Are you sure you want to delete the Read-only file
xyz...". Click Yes or No.
I'm sure you would have a similar capability in Windows 2000, though I
have never used it myself. It doesn't prevent you from deleting it,
just a warning message ...
Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,
My PC at the workplace is running on Window 2000 Professional OS.
I have Excel and PDF files saved under my personal and shared drive.
May I know is there a way to protect certain files from being deleted from
the drive unintentionally ?
Thanks
