We have a mapped drive we call the "F" drive which has a subfolder named "Users" and gives all users their personal folders. Is there a way (like in Netware) to have the user view only their folder in the list? (all other users folders being hidden) Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance!!

 
IF the folders are on an NTFS partition the answer is yes. Just go to :properties: for the folder that you want to limit access on, select the securtiy tab and set the permissions so that the administrator account and the user account have full control. after you have done that, remove the "everyone" group from the permissions list.

How is the mapping done? If its a logon script, why not just map F: to the users own folder (use %username%). Same if its their 'home directory' defined and mapped in User Manager.
 
wolluf is right , but you don't need a logon script ,
at the properties of the user you've got a mapping for the home directory , there map it like :

\\servername\users$\%username% or \users$\john

by the way , it won't work good on nt4 computers ,
there you should map only till : \\server\john$ or something ... Alex,
Problem? No Problem!
