Default Can you disable the Delete in the Word "Save As" window?

Word permits users to delete files and folders on mapped drives via the Save
As feature. Is there any way to selectively disable the Delete feature from
within the Save As window?

Default Can you disable the Delete in the Word "Save As" window?

When you display the SaveAs dialog (or any other file dialog, for that
matter, such as File Open, or Insert Picture), you are actually
displaying Windows Explorer, and the functions you get are the Windows
Explorer functions. Delete, rename, etc are an intrinsic part of that
dialog. If the user can do these things at all, what's the point of
disabling any of them in the context of the SaveAs dialog? One of the
virtues of the Explorer file dialog is that it functions the same way, no
matter how you call it.

so no, you can't disable delete.
