Shared Folders

[Pete Newbie]

Hi,
I have shared some folders, this works in the respect, that users without
rights can not gain access these folders.
But the folders are still visible, to the groups without access, when
viewed from a another pc.

Can the folders be hidden from the groups without access and only seen by
the groups that have access?

As it is at the moment, every folder shared, can be seen by everyone.

yes and no.
If they have use of an account that can authenticated to the
sharing-out machine, then no.
If they do not have such an account, and you have disabled
anonymous enumeration of shares, then yes. They will see
the machine but get a denial when they try to expand it.
This is a setting in the local policies available on Pro version.
