It would be easier to distribute on CDR's then everything will be readonly. Otherwise you will need some type of encryption software to do it I believe. You can encrypt folders in XP, dunno if this stops them from being deleted though.
Quick google, How do I password protect my files and folders in Windows?
Look at the "File and folders frequently used or accessed" section.

Some USB drives either have a physical switch to write protect the contents, or some utility software to do the same. But CD-R's are probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
