you can hide windows shares by adding an dollar sign ($) at the end of the share name
..or just not share it at all

That's the point of "Active Directory", you don't have to run from one client to another.
By sharing for example "storage$", the share wouldn't show off in network explorer, but can be accessed and mapped as network drive by typing in the full share name on the client.
