I want that my windows users can access the files through a custom 
application, not directly. And I think that if I prevent users to browse 
the directory and only the custom application knows the names of files, 
it'll be OK.

But as you say, this is not a good solution, so I try to find another 
solution. My new solution is to run my application with RunAs in a 
sandbox. This application access the files in AFS cache as a special 
user. I want to ask that the administrator of the windows machine can 
access the files in AFS cache which belongs to this special user when 
the application is running?


Thanks
