CIFS & Alfresco 'Explorer'

Hey All,

my question is this, we've been with Alfresco since v3.x, where both Explorer and Share both existed. I've read alot of forum threads about the differences, and from an end-user POV, Share is the way to go - in honesty, we don't use Explorer at all.

My question is this, when you have a CIFS mapped drive, there are 3 Alfresco links in every site folder, appropriately titled:
__Alfresco
__CheckInOut
__ShowDetails

The purposes of these links make sense, but is there a way to change these so they load in Share instead of Explorer? Or a way to hide these features as they seem more like admin features than end-user features.

Look here.
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Subsystem_4.0

In particular the following settings.
cifs.pseudoFiles.enabled=true
controls whether URL shortcuts or desktop actions are displayed on CIFS.
cifs.pseudoFiles.explorerURL.enabled=true
Is the URL shortcut for alfresco explorer shown ?
cifs.pseudoFiles.explorerURL.fileName=__Alfresco.url
Name of Cifs URL for alfresco explorer
cifs.pseudoFiles.shareURL.enabled=false
Is the URL shortcut for alfresco share shown ?
cifs.pseudoFiles.shareURL.fileName=__Share.url

Thanks mrogers
I would like to request advice on:-
If I want my CIFS users not to see
"__Alfresco
__CheckInOut
__ShowDetails"

Should I play with the above settings
