Documents and Settings folders - hiding in Terminal Services
Hello.
We provide ASP services for clients who connect to out Terminal Server farms. Is there any way to hide the Documents and Settings folders so that users cannot see the names of other people using the system, or else restrict rights to the documents and settings folders so that users can only see their own folder displayed if they explore to it?
Thanks

They will always need list access at the very least. So they will always see the other users names. You can block folder access to other users folders but not from seeing the other users names.
You can setup using Group policy so that the Terminal Services User group can only see certain folder.
If you setup allows it, you could also hide the entire C: drive, this option prevents browsing to this or other drives as specified. This does not effect running of applications, just file browsing
if you set the mandetory profiles then after loging off, the user profile disappears. this way you can prevent it upto some extent. if more than one user is loging on at the same time, they can see the user logged on to the server

If I take away List Files and Folders from Everyone and users, when they attempt to logon will the profile be able to load ok? I'd assumed if they didnt have rights to view the folder, the profile would not be able to be created/amended??
Is there a Terminal Services policy that hides the entire C:? Any issues in your experience?

If you just want to hide the Documents and Settings folders, by default, users shouldn't be able to see hidden folders, so you can hide the folder, and then restrcit changing folder properties through Group Policy.
