NTFS Permissions - Hiding Folders

[Streve T]

Hello,
I have a share that I need to supply Read permissions to
most of the folders in the share for all authenticated
users.

There are, however, a couple folders in the share that I
need to provide full access for select user groups only
and eliminate all access for the authenticated users that
are not part of the groups that have full access.

I have the permissions working correctly but I cannot
figure out how to hide the directories from the users that
do not have acess. Currently, they are denied access to
the folders but I would prefer they could not see them as
well.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

That can not be done with netbios access to shared folders. Denying access
is the best you can do in W2K. You can hide a share by putting a $ after it
but it will be hidden to everyone though available to those who know it's
existence and have permissions to it. Active Directory can hide shares. If
you publish a share in Active Directory, and the user has no permissions to
the share, they will not see it in an AD search or browse. However that will
require disabling netbios over tcp/ip on the network which is still not
feasible or desireable to most though technology is heading that way. ---
