I have two departments all with XP Home. Two machines are financial and need
file sharing to run Quickbooks. This allows all other users to see the
shares even though I have locked them out using security settings.

I want to make these disappear from their screen so that they do not see the
shares (out of sight-out of mind thing). Anyone know how to blind these
share views even though file sharing is on in the two computers?
