Hidden Folders?!?

[ciscogeek]

Is it possible to hide folders from users that dont need to have access to them, and only allow them to see the ones they have access to?



Thanks!

well, you can set the attribute hidden in dos
for example
c:\>attrib +h WINNT
that will hide the whole folder, then set their computer to not show hidden or system files and it shouldnt show up to them, make sure that you can see them though on your computer.
Or, you could simply not share those folders, or set permisions per folder so only users with proper permisions can open that folder

I guess you mean hiding shared folders ?
If so, just share the folders ending the share name with a $(dollar sign)
This will hide it from the shared ressources when users browse the network.
Then you have to map the folder manually to a drive letter and the user will see it as a network drive.
Make sure your permissions are set correctly.

Let me know if this helps S. Gagner
