Directory Defender

Directory Defender is a practical and user-friendly software solution created to ensure no folders are accidentally moved on your File Server and even your computer, by preventing such actions altogether.

The program installs quickly and without any noteworthy events, allowing you to configure it immediately after, in order to benefit from its features as soon as possible.

Once you have defined its functioning parameters, Directory Defender will be on the lookout for any folder moves, monitoring their occurrence and displaying an error message whenever someone attempts it.

It is not uncommon for multiple people to have access to the same Windows File Server and in their rush to get to the file they need, to accidentally drag and drop folders from one place to the other, ruining the initial structure and making it difficult, if not impossible, for other users to find it later on.

In order to make sure it never happens again, Directory Defender comes to your assistance. You can use it to deny this type of access to network and local users, thus preventing them from moving any folder. You can define the a time interval for checking for changes, so that if you disable this protection, it will propagate in a given amount of seconds.

Once you apply the changes to the File Server, the utility will constantly monitor folders and display an error message, should someone try to move a directory, informing them that the group policy forbids them from performing that specific action.

To conclude, Directory Defender is a useful and reliable application that can save you a lot of trouble by ensuring folders remain in the same path where you placed them, blocking local and network users from moving them.
