Hi,
Is it possible to map a drive on win95&98 clients and hide it so the user cannot see it.I have a windows 4.0 environment.Possibly using a logon script to do this. Or doing locally on that client.. Thanks

kashmeir63, I believe you can accomplish this
by adding the $ (dollar sign) after the drive letter. e.g. C$

Hope this helps!

When you create a share on the NT machine-- any you create that end in the $ character will be hidden from users as they try to browse the server. Another way to hide from users is to policy edit and check Hide Netowrk Neighborhood (on the win 98 boxes).
