It would be easiest to create separate shares for each folder - if you append the share name with the dollar sign ($), this will mean that your users will not be able to browse to the folder through Network Neighbourhood/Network Places.

You could use login scripts to map the drives...

Just a couple of thoughts

Thanks Andy, it's something i've considered but several users require lots of access so it's not practical due to having lots of mappings.

So far the best i've come with is nesting the users under there own dept. folder, not ideal but it stops prying eyes further up the folder structure. I'm still amazed that M$ can't provide a similar solution to our aging Novell 4 server, maybe when DFS is developed further it will be the answer to my question but not yet at least frown.
