When you access the Browse list for printer shares from Print Manager,
hidden printer shares are also listed.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To create a hidden share, add "$" to the end of the share name. For example,
"admin$" is a hidden share and "admin" is not.
This behavior occurs only with printer shares, and if you use the Net View
command on a server, the hidden printer shares are not listed.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a printer share with "$" at the end of share name. For example:
Print1$
2. From another Windows NT machine, open Print Manager.
3. From the Printer menu, choose Connect To Printer.
4. From the Browse list, select your Domain.
5. Double-click the machine with the hidden shares.
The Browse list shows the hidden printer shares.
However, you can hide the whole NT Server from the browse list by using: Net
Config Server /Hidden: Yes
