Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	HI All, I have an interesting question. We are running NT 4.0 servers. Every Dept has a folder in teh Dept drive. Is there a way to map everyone to the same Dept share but only show them the folders they have access to? Thanks David

You could try denying explicitely denying access to the resource for the user. Something like: C:\Test ---> R/E C:\Test\Mine ---> R/W/E C:\Test\Yours ---> No access Give it a try, let me know how it works. Bill

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I gave that a try, but it does not work. I think that, using your example, by giving c:\test R/E rights it makes it possible to scan the contents of test and see everything even if you do not have access to it. I personaly think this cannot be done, but I thought that i would troll for Ideas to get my boss of my back Jazzkid

Jazzkid, one method that will probably work from a technical aspect, but I suspect not from a daily end-user use aspect, is to make the folder(s) hidden, then change Windows Explorer value for selected systems to not show Hidden/System files. Registry key value is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Policies\Advanced, Hidden". Set to '1' to block viewing of Hidden, '0' to enable viewing. Also may need to set "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Policies, NoFolderOptions" to prevent users from changing option to view hidden/system files. Again, '1' to prevent viewing of the options, '0' to enable viewing/changing the options. Bill [ 19 November 2001: Message edited by: bleonard ]
