Hidden Share in Windows 2003
Hi,
I would like to find out is there any main difference between normal share and hidden share ($)
Recently, I have some users who are unable to access file remotely for hidden share and I couldn't figure out why.
Is there any good website that list out and explain all kind of ntfs permission?
Can anybody explain why?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have managed to solve the problem but I have alot of permission created here and there.
Beside cacls, is there any other tool that is able to check permission for every shared folder?
