First, on the Security tab of the folder to protect, remove the 'Acquire Permission Settings?' checkbox on any permissions you don't want the folder to get from it's parent. Generally, the root object allows anonymous access to the 'Access Contents Information' and 'View' permissions. If those were the only ones you needed to adjust, only unselect those checkboxes. If you want no acquision, you would uncheck all the 'Acquire Permission Settings?' boxes and set only the permissions you desire.

I am unsure as to how to protect a sub directory - I wish to have an area that can only be accessed by users in the list for that directory as a role for that directory and by managers. Please advise.
