samba - Nov 2002 - Hiding shares and/or their contents from Windows Explorer

Is anyone of aware of any known problems with Samba 2.2.2 and Windows 95, 
dealing with hiding shares and/or their content from Windows Explorer?  We 
need to map these shares so our application can function properly...but the 
shares and/or their content should never be accessible via Windows 
Explorer.  We have browseable = no for the shares.  We also tried the 
"hide"option, but the user can simply change Windows Explorer setting
to
view hidden files.  It was suggested we consider poledit, but the option to 
hide drives is "all or nothing", meaning we'd have to hide C drive
too
(which we don't want).  I looked into TweakUI, but the changes are only 
temporary and reset to original setting after restarting Windows 95.  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.   Thanks.

I'm fairly new to Samba but I'll throw in my .5 cent in, I would disable
nmbd and map the app to the static ip of the samba machine.
