Hiding Directories in W2k

By huntec ·
Hi all
How do you hide directories in W2K, I know in Novell, you can specifically set directories that are seen by specific users, but how do you do this in Win 2K?

Thanks for response
Cliff

Hiding Directories in W2k

Folders have a hidden attribute you can set. Right click on folder - properties - click hidden.

Users can however set their folder options to view hidden folders.

On a shared folder level view you can hide shares from people "browsing" my network places. Just place a $ after the shared name. So if my shared folder was Data I would change the shared name to Data$.

Good luck

You can hide directories by right clicking directory > Properties & then check Hidden check box.

Make sure that show hidden & system file option is unchecked. Other wise users can see directories. In any folder Click Tools menu > Folder Options > View tab > there make sure Don't show hideen & sytstem files is selected.

Users can still view your files if they check the other option. So better try to implement NTFS folder permission.
