AFAIK this is not possible but why would you want to do that? It's 
"Security throug Oscurity" (aka "The Windows Way" ;-) ).

The "l"-Permission is more an "Enter the directory"- than a
"List the directory's content"-permission.

You could create seperate directories for all the files you want to protect
and change the ACLs os those directories as you like.
