Windows caching of network shares!

Hi. I'm not sure if this is directly related to samba, but if it isn't just
ignore me :)

I have some private shares on my samba server that only I have permission to
access.
Let's say that the share name was topsecret$, it has browseable = no, and
cannot be viewed anyway
because of the $ sign. Windows 2000 puts a link to this share in "My Network
Places" when I access the share.
Is it possible to prevent Windows 2000 from caching a link to this share, or
any share for that matter?

Windows 2000 also have the ability to disable file caching on files in a
share, so it can't be
made available offline for users. Is this possible to configure in samba?

Kind Regards
