I have the following in my /etc/smb.conf file but my user.txt file still shows up when accessed on this share.

hide files = /u*/

I have also tried:

hide files = /u*
hide files = u*
hide files = /*.txt/

but the files always shows up. (I have stopped and started the windows service and restarted it without effect)
I have tried using with and without passing through symlinks to ensure that was not a factor.

Am I missing something? (please tell me I am being dumb and the answer is simple!!!)

Fixed using “dont descend” The problem turned out to be the placement of the directive. when I moved it to the first item for the share
[temp]
dont descend = ‘some name’,other_name
this fixed the issue to make it work as desired.

Thank You
