Hmm, what I'm trying to do is a little more complicated than just "this is
the furthest down the tree you can go".  I want to hide the file names from
simple browsing, but still have the ability to read the files if I already
know the names.  Kind of like the hidden attribute, but without the ability
for a non-owner to ever see the file names.

Can NT do that?  My research seems to show that it cannot, and that to be
able to read a file in NT, you must be able to see its name.  Disappointing.
:( Can anyone confirm or deny that that is the case?

Thanks again!
