Folder Permissions

I am trying to set up a folder as a Virtual Folder but can't get the permissions right.
The folder is on the local drive of the server (D:\Files\ePlans\intranet\). I can set up the virtual folder fine so that it works as it should in the browser.
Problem is, the folder is also in our shared drive tree ie D:\Files is shared as \\hq1\files$\ and is mapped as W:\ so W:\ePlans\intranet\ is the same as the virtual drive.
What I need to do is set the permissions so that the Authenticated Users group can access the site through the intranet, but they can't browse to the folder through the W:\ drive.
Each time I change a permission it either blocks or allows both groups. I have IIS set up to use integrated authentication as that is needed for the site to function.
Can this be done? Any thoughts?

You won't be able to using the Authenticated Users group.

You will to remove the AU group from that folder and add explicit permissions for the IIS user account.
