This is not correct.

KiXtart has no problem mapping "hidden" shares where the share name is suffixed with a "$".

If you are having problems then it is something peculiar to your environment.

The only special handling that you need for hidden shared is that the trailing "$" may be considered to be a variable embedded in the string, in which case you need to ensure that it is protected.

However "hidden" shares are not any sort of security and only really useful for reducing clutter when browsing, so if you are happy with the solution of not using them then stick with that.

If you *do* need to map hidden shares with KiXtart then post again and we'll assist you in finding out why it's not working for you.
