Is this feature only for x64 versions of Windows 2003 or is SP1 for Windows 2003 x32 also going to have this feature?

Joe - can you expand on that a little more? People can hide folders now if they have proper permissions to the folder/file.

Chris - This will be in both SP1(x86) and x64

I can't find abetool.exe in RC2 of either the x86 or x64 version of SP1. Where's it hidden? I've been using the Joeware ABE tool.

I am not the joe above who asked about security concerns and hidden trojan folders. These aren't hidden folders, they are folders that people don't have access to at all. It is similar to the Novell mechanism so you can have a single shared folder with hundreds or thousands of subfolders and users only seeing the folders they have access to read. <br> <br>BTW, check out <br><a target="_new" href="http://www.joeware.net/win/free/tools/shrflgs.htm">http://www.joeware.net/win/free/tools/shrflgs.htm</a> <br>

Sorry I didnt make that a little clearer about ABE and the tools.

ABE is enabled and ready to go in SP1 via the API. The tool - abetool.exe will be a web download at the same time the whitepaper is released.

I will post again when the tool and whitepaper is live on the web.....soon.
