Sorry can't do that. These files are all stored on Windows servers,
and they need to be able to create new files, delete files, etc.
What is the problem?
Just store the files the users should not change in a different
directory with different permissions.
I have to disallow the file form double clicking. It can be caught,
at least in carbon I have done that in the past.
Double-clicking is just *one* way to open a file.
You can also - for example - drag the file to an application icon.
Or you can use the terminal - remember: this is a unix operating system.
I don't know if that what you want (disallow double clicking) is
possible. But even if it were, it would not solve your problem in any
way, because there would be so much other ways to open/change the file.
You *have* to work with users/groups/permissions. This is the only
way to do it.

PS: that reminds me of a story I've read some months ago.
An US agency has released a document where some parts of the text
should not be readeable - because of security concerns. They just set
Foreground-Color to black and Background-Color to black on these parts.
Of course, in Word and even in Acrobat, these parts of the text where
not readable.
But in the PDF (opened with a text-editor, for example) all the
information that was black-on-black was readable for everyone ...
