HIDING SHARED RESOURCES
When you share a resource on your peer-to-peer network, you'll probably want to protect it with a password. This safeguard alone usually provides adequate security, but there's always the chance that an intruder could guess the password.
Fortunately, you can improve security by making your shares invisible. That way, interlopers won't even know there's a resource for which they might want to guess the password. This trick is easy-just make sure the last character of your share name is a dollar sign. The hidden share option doesn't prevent users who know that resources are available from using them. Windows 95 lets you secretly share both printers and folders.
