Moving files in the same volume & Permissions

Question

Is there a way to make a folder automatically inherit the permissions of the destination folder during a move operation on the same volume. If a user moves a folder from dirtree_A to dirtree_B on the same volume the permissions are retained from dirtree_A.
Is there a secret key to hold down during a move or some better way to setup the folder security to make the permission change more dynamic during a folder move?TIA Troy

Hi,
By default, an object inherits permissions from its parent object, either at the time of creation or when it is copied or moved to its parent folder. The only exception to this rule occurs when you move an object to a different folder on the same volume.
In this case, the original permissions are retained.
You can modify how Windows Explorer handles permissions when objects are moved in the same NTFS volume. As mentioned, when an object is moved within the same volume, the object preserves its permissions by default. However, if you want to modify this behavior
so that the object inherits the permissions from the parent folder, modify the registry
