103825	2002-12-06 20:20:00	Is it possible in Win2K Pro to hide certain folders, or even an entire secondary HDD from certain users with Guest or such privilages on the system. I've currently got the HDD formatted in FAT32, but I'm wanting to goto NTFS, coz in my haste to install, I didnt select the right file-system. If anybody still has the command line to convert the Primary HDD to NTFS from FAT32, that'd also be good, but my main question is, is it possible to hide folders, or even just prevent them from being opened/modified by certain users with limited system rights?
