Map drives to shares - in this case, don't put accounting as a subfolder of
another shared folder - and share the relevant folders as hidden (using a
dollar sign, as in, ACCOUNTING$).

As in -

D:\Group is shared as GROUP$ and mapped as a drive letter for the users who
need it
D:\Accounting is shared as ACCOUNTING$ and mapped as a drive letter for the
users who need it.

Permissions are set appropriately in NTFS. D is not shared for user access.

What's your objection to mapping drives?
