[at least on NT] You would have to manually map/browse it by \\server\share$ this helps hide it some more, you also you can force the users to have another special password to browse this share and once per their windows session [or after timeout], they would have to re-enter in user name / password. sorry, I know the theory but kinda foggy with the exact tech details as I've done this only once on my home server. . www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
