When you say to give them read access to the top level share, do you mean Share permissions or NTFS permissions? I'm hoping NTFS, as a first test, which was to give Domain Users Read access (Share permissions) didn't work for me. Within a minute I had phone calls from people saying they could no longer access their home directory.

Only problem is you got to give at least read access to the top level share ( but not any of the subfolders in the share except for the folder you want they to see, if they don't have read access it doesn't even appear to them) Z Edward E.
