Yes I have tried it. In my experience it will not stop shares from showing
in My Network Places [shares can be hidden from My Network Places with $
after share name] . However a user who does not have ntfs permissions to a
file folder within a share will not be able to see those files and folders.
This is still very helpful particularly when a top level share is enable for
access to all users and then there are folders within that share that have
permissions on a per user/group basis. I also noticed that if you change
share/ntfs permissions you may need to enable Access Enumeration in that tab
of the share properties again. --- Steve
