On my Windows 2000 Server, i have 3 Groups
Administrators
Power Users
Users

there are about 60 folders in Drive D

Administrator has rights to all the folders
Power Users has rights only to 40 folders
Users has rights only to 20 folders.

when i login on a Client machine (WIn 95) ,
as a User, am able to see all the folders, however i have rights to access only 20 folders. the folders to which the user has no access is also being displayed.

i would like to see the onlyfolders to which the user has access. whenever the USER , POWER USER or ADMINISTRATOR logs into client machine they should be able to see only folders to which they have access.

How do i do this ??

Right Click on the folder and make sure that in the security tab, they do not have "list folder contents" rights

The easiest option is to create a folder for each group that only that group can access, and move each of the original folders into each group's folder. Assign the proper permissions to each of the new folders, and even though the Users can see thePower User's Folder, they can't access the folder, or list its contents. Users access the Users folder and can see what they need, Power Users access the Power Users folder...and so on. If the Power Users need to be able to access some of the User's folders, you just add the Power Users group to the Users Folder's Security settings.

Hope this helps.
