Please help,

I am runnign XP Pro SP3 clients with a Windows Server 2008.
I am in the process of permissioning folders on the D: with Global Security groups and adding users to them.
Annoyingly when I assign a group to the folder the folder disappears from view on the user's network drive. If I permission the individual it's fine. Can anyone help? Choclate bar top the winner.

checked your permissions on the group. It does sound like a permissions problem somewhere.
Good Luck.

Same thing happened to me. Best thing to do (if you dont have 500 PC's that is) assign them individually rather than as a group.
Problem with mine was (windows 2003) although I managed to have the network drive re-appear by making the folder hidden in Computer Config > Shares and then only making it visible to the group intended for that folder. But his time no one could access it.
So I did all of them individually, best way.
