Prevent WMC from deleting files in one folder

Was thinking if the file permissions would not allow deletion, then wmc would not be able to delete it.
anyone done this. i have a folder that i want to play but not delete from wmc.

i got it by add everyone, then deny full control for everyone, then deny delete but allow other things. tested and it works.

I had some recordings I did not want deleted, so I move them from standard delete-able WMC library folder to this one where none can delete the files.
There are not that many. To delete I would have to modify the folder permissions.
