And this is possible for Windows 2000? Would you mind pointing me to some documentation?
Is this a local user, or a network shared folder.
For locall users you could consider encrypting the folder .
See the encryption option in the help.
I hope this helps !

To clarify...
Its for a network shared folder. Access will be driven via AD groups, so if the user isn't in the AD group they won't see the folder.

Providing the machine does not have "show hidden files" turned on in folder options you could just right click on the folder select properties and mark the folder as hidden.

WallD, that really isn't an option b/c a user could always check show hidden files and then be able to view the folder and the files it contains. The mark folder as hidden should never be used as a security measure.
I appreciate that it was just another way of hiding it, AD seemed to be providing security.
You could create a share and adding an $ behind it will make it invisible.
Cheers!
