how can i hide a directory on the server

[Webstar-Designs]

I have a client that uses Front Page to maintain their site. I setup a phpbb
bulletin board in a dir called bulletin. Is there a way to hide this dir from
front page?

Meaning if the client opens the site remotely in front page or publishes the
remote site locally to the client’s computer the dir will not be seen or
included.

I do not want any files changed or modified in the bulletin board dir.

Make the Dir (folder) a Subweb (right click on the Dir (folder) and choose
Covert to Web)

Tell him to make sure never to tick Subwebs when publishing.

If you want to take more control away from him I suggest contentseed.com but
in this case your client wants to be able to edit the rest of the site so I
don't think that's needed but it's useful to know about for future clients.
