This can also be done at the client end (i.e. on Windows).
Personally I don't like hiding things on systems at the server end; it can
be hard to debug if there's a problem (or if you inherit someone else's
setup).
In some respects it might be better to have a usually-hidden share setup in
smb.conf
Regards,
Jill.

Hi Mike..
I can't recall the exact directive but there's a bit in smb.conf where
you specify filenames/extensions to automatically hide. I reckon that's
what you're looking for - whack desktop.ini in there and robert's your
father's brother.
