1. Goto Portal Administration Option under the tools menu

2. Click on Cognos Content portlet in the portlets listing

3. Click on Cognos Navigator

4. Click on properties for Public Folders and you should be able to control the permissions from here.

One note:
if you don't give permissions to the users for public folders, how r they gonna develop reports?
So denying access will not work.

You have to edit system.xml to hide but still give execute access to public folders and packages.
Even in that case, report studio users will be able to see the packages they are going against.
