I believe that shares are intended to be visible. The following is a direct
quote from the info included with the webserver docs:
---------
To restrict access to a folder
1.In My Computer, right-click the folder you want to restrict access to,
and then click Sharing.
2.Click Shared As, and then click Web Sharing.
3.Select the Share Folder For HTTP check box.
---------
et cetera...
