If you use the connecting and sharing folder to control this, then you may 
have noticed in the help that it advises to create a DRIVE share for every 
drive that contains a DIRECTORY share you also wish to create. The key here 
is that if you wish to allow access to an ENTIRE DRIVE, then there are in 
fact 2 ways to do this, with slightly different but subtle methodologies.
As a DRIVE share (IE the share is 'F:' with NO backslash in the name), the 
actual directory structures on that drive are not relevant. Directory 
creation on this drive is also irrelevant, if the person accessing the drive 
can see it, then all directories on it should be visible automatically, 
included directories created by those who have WRITE access enabled to that 
DRIVE.
However if you create a directory share (IE the share is 'F:\' WITH a 
backslash), then access to that directory AND subdirecties is controlled on a 
'per directory' basis using ACL's. In this case directory creation and 
visbility depends on individual access rights.
If you wish to share an entire drive, then the first way can perform better 
if the directory structure is large and complicated. This may account for 
what you are seeing..........pk.
