partitioning - protect partition/disk from being deleted

Sometimes Windows marks its system reserved partition as protected, meaning you cannot delete it directly from Windows disk management; you have to use diskpart delete override command.
I use disk management often to delete and create partition on some disks. I am always afraid I will accidentally choose one of my working disks and delete a vital partition on it. Can a partition be protected from accidental deletion? That is, when I right click on that partition in disk management, there should be no option to delete it (or the option should be grayed out, unavailable). Windows obviously is able to do this to its partitions, how can I do this for mine ?
