Hi, <br />
<br />
I think I understand this - would it be more suited not to map the drive and instead create a hidden share (users need to know the full path to browse) and set their access to &quot;Read-Only&quot; (cannot modify anything in the folder)?<br />

I just brought up my first windows 2003 server. I created a folder on one of my drives called production. Inside the folder contains and access db along with some other files.<br />
<br />
What I did was map a drive to the folder on another pc. I created a group in AD called production and my question is what security do I need to set on the folder so I can create a shortcut based the access db in the folder without having the users see or disturb any of the contents within that folder.<br />
<br />
I hope I made sense. I'm sure it's a rights issue but I'm not sure.

Folder/File Security

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
