Concerning the following folders:

\\Server\Share\Folder1\FolderA
\\Server\Share\Folder1\FolderB
\\Server\Share\Folder1\FolderC
\\Server\Share\Folder1\FolderD

Is it possible with permissions in Windows Server 2003 to have a user only see FolderA and FolderB but not FolderC or FolderD when browsing contents of Folder1? I can easily prevent a user from opening FolderC and D, but I don't even want them to be able to see they exist.

you can filter a users ability to traverse folders.

shares are the portal or entry point and NTFS permissions are the security point the combination of the 2 that is most restrictive is the effective permissions.

From what I've learned so far, the Traverse permission when applied to Folder1 will affect FolderA, B, C, and D the same. I want to hide FolderC and FolderD, but let the user still see FolderA and FolderB
