Recreating NetWare File System Functionality

[Jeff]

We are in process of migrating the NetWare file system to
a new Win2K box. Off the root there is a directory with
sub-directories where users only can see the directories
that they have rights to read and file scan. How do we
replicate this kind of behavior in Windows 2000?
Currently, users see all directories. While they can't get
into the directories that they don't have access to, they
complain that this is different than before and that all
of the additional directories are confusing.

Any Ideas??? Thanks - Jeff

Windows is different from NetWare in that respect.

You could go through and share all the folders with the "$" following the
share name. This will make them "hidden". You won't be able to browse to the
folder you would have to enter the exact path to reach the folder.

Other than that you might just have to give your users time to get used to
the new look.
