Re: Hidden folders with NTFS

Is there any way I can hide selected folders from users based on NTFS

I can obviously control access but would like to hide those folders to which
they have no permission to access

A Lake,

The ability your looking for is avialable in Windows 2003 with SP1,
its called Access-based Enumeration.


Here is a link to Microsoft explaining Access-based Enumeration.

Hope this helps.
