How to hide our network shares from Others ?

If you want to hide a share from others type $ as the last character of the shared name and set permissions to particular user, then someone would have to know the exact user folder to access, and then would still get an "access denied" error. For example, you could create a share called ‘sharename$’. This share would be hidden from Windows Explorer, Net View, and other similar utilities.

Users can still connect to the share and access its data; People will only be able to access the folder if they know the name .Note that the $ must be typed as part of the share name when mapping to the shared resource.
