when you share a folder or a drive in windows, there is a check box option for allowing users to change or delete files, uncheck it and the drive will be read only to users.

1. Click on "My Computer".
2. Right-Click on the "Drive letter" that you are setting up.
3. You will see a link that says "Sharing". Left click on that.
4. There will now be two check-boxes for the options you are looking for. Check them accordingly.
