There's a nifty little cdev that does just what you've asked for.  It's
called "The Guard Dog" from Nemesis Systems.  It lets you lock folders,
and files and prevents files from being copied.  Unfortunately, it 
doesn't allow selection of specific folders or disk volumes to be locked,
it locks the entire desktop, however it does allow "knowledgeable" users
to disable it by holding down the Control key while "mousing".  This
feature seems designed for systems frequented by less experienced users
as sort of a fail safe (they can use it but not inadvertantly screw it up).
The shareware fee for Guard Dog is $20; check your favorite BBSs for
availability.
