Hide Subfolders of a Share?

P

pmasters

Is it possible to hide subfolders of a Share on Windows
2000 Server.
I.E:
I have shared folder called SHARE1 and about 100
subfolders.
I would like multiple groups to map to SHARE1 but I do not
want all the group to be able to see all the actual
folders.
I know I can block access so when clicked they receive
an "Access Denied". But I would like the folders hidden
unless permission is granted. Netware can do this....I
don't ever remember this being accomplished in MS world.

thanks,
pm

Mmh . . . Doing this in the MS world requires advanced
knowledge: You right-click the folder, click Properties, then
click the "Hidden" box!

And just as easily anyone can tell Explorer to show hidden files and
folders.
