Re: [nukkad] $ sign start and end of a folder name

[Mean Drake <>]

The dollar sign at the end of a share name prevents the shared folder from 
being displayed on the network Browse list.

Also the dollar sign before and after the folder name is MS's designation that 
they are temporary and removable, and the dollar sign keeps em all right at the 
top of the directory for ease of locating them and removing them. So, anything 
that looks like $NtUninstallKB926255$ is an Security Pack ('KB' - Knowledge 
Base article) uninstall folder and can be deleted if you do not plan to 
uninstall the patch.
