| Deja Vue has 21GB of questionable jpeg files located on drive D of his Windows 2000 Professional computer in a folder called "HotStuff". Feel free to use your imagination at this point... 
Now Deja has decided to share this folder for his good buddy Slinky to see, but he does not want other users on the network to see this share in the browse list when they are browsing through "The 'Hood" (i.e. My Network Places).
Deja wants all the other shares he has established to still appear in the browse list.
What does Deja need to do? (Select the best choice from below).
A. Stop the computer browser service, and set it's startup type to "Disabled".
B. In the comment field for the "HotStuff" share, type Hidden.
C. Change the share name to HotStuff$
D. Fire up Regedt32. Navigate to the HKLM|System|currrentcontrolset
|services|lanmanservers|shares
and change the Default string value to "Hidden".
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| C is the most prudent.
Would adding NTFS specific permissions to the folder really secure it even in a domain?
The real question is are there any absolute omissions that can be made directly at the file level? | |

Secure it from normal users, Yes. From other Admins, No
File level permissions override folder level permissions. Deja could deny access to the folder for everyone and then explicitly grant Slinky read permission to the individual files. Slinky could then type the entire path into the Run command box specifying the file name as well.
But as an administrator, I always have the option to take ownership of the resource and then give myself permission to that resource. That's your trump card. | |

And the answer is.....C
When you append a dollar sign to the end of the share name, the share is hidden and the folder will not be shown in the browse list.
Users who know the folder name can gain access to it as long as they have the proper permission to it.
"A" - If you stop the computer browser service, users on that particular computer will not be able to browse the network, and the share would still be visible to others.
"B" - You can not hide a share by typeing "Hidden" in the comment section.
"D" - You can not hide a share by typing in "Hidden" for that registry key.
Nice job everyone!! |
