RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, create two different link lists. One of these lists will contain links that are intended to be viewable by all team members; this list can remain on the root Web. Store the other link list (which will contain the links to the restricted Web sites) in a separate subweb with the appropriate subweb permissions.
For example, if you have a confidential resource at the following location
http://otherserver/confidential.doc
and your publicly available link list is at the following location
use FrontPage 2002 to create a Team Services subweb with separate permissions (for example, http://
teamserver/
secureinfo). On this subweb, you can create the second link list with a hyperlink that points to
http://
otherserver/
confidential.doc.
Additionally, make sure that when you use Windows Explorer, the physical directory on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) [for example, C:\InetPub\wwwroot\
secureinfo] is not marked for indexing by Microsoft Index Server.
