Tip: Create Shared Resources that Are Hidden 
 
If you want to hide a share from users (which means they won’t be able to see the shared resource when they try to browse to it in Windows Explorer or at the command line), type $ as the last character of the shared resource name.For example, you could create a share called PrivEngData$. This share would be hidden from Windows Explorer, Net View, and other similar utilities. 
 
Users can still connect to the share and access its data, provided that they’ve been granted access permission and that they know the share’s name. Note that the $ must be typed as part of the share name when mapping to the shared resource.

Hi, 
I am trying to set up a File Server on Windows 2012 R2. There is an AD and a few users. 
According to my knownledge, if a share is created (thorugh wizard) with &quot;ABE&quot; enable, only allowed users should see it. 
Indeed, all users are able to see every share that I created, even if they have no right to access it. 
I would like to prevent some users to list all shares. 
How can I do that? 
 
For example, I have this share &quot;secret&quot; with: 
 
path: C:\FILE_SERVER\secret 
full control permission to: SYSTEM, CREATOR OWNER, Administrators, richard (a trusted user). 
 
Now I try to list from a W10 workstation share on server, as &quot;antony&quot; user (which should be NOT able to list &quot;secret&quot; share), and I am able to see it. 
 
Thank you
