hiding mapped network drive

Hello
I was wondering if there is a way to hide a mapped drive from the user. For example in the loging script if i had
MAP G:=SYS:PUBLIC
How would I make it so the user could not see the G drive in windows explorer, and other applications like word?

The best way to hide a mapped drive is not to give it to them in the first place. That's one thing that Groups are used for. You can map a drive and then say in your Login Script that only members of a certain group will get the drive mapping.

Map it as a search drive only. Use a map s1:=XXXXXX instead of map or map root. And don't forget to add the NO_DEFAULT command to the login script as the default login script built into the login.exe file includes a mapping for sys.

Hello
The reason for giving them the drive is there will be a program installed on that mapped drive and the users need RWEMF on the folder that contains the program, and i don't want them messing with the installed files.
