Default How do I set up worksheet to keep tabs from being deleted?

I have setup certain cells so that they are locked out so that changes cannot
be made to the spreadsheet. There are multiple tabs on the spreadsheet and I
cannot see how to protect them. By right clicking on a tab anybody can delete
the entire tab even when the worksheet is protected. Am I missing something
here?

You want to protect the workbook's structure.

In xl2003 menus:
tools|protection|protect workbook (and check structure).

This will stop users from renaming/inserting/deleting/moving sheets.

But be aware that just like worksheet protection, this is easily broken.
