What you can do is to revoke the permission VIEW ANY DATABASE from public,
or DENY this permission to the users in question. Alas, the user would then only see tempdb and msdb (or was it master?), databases he owns, and
possibly his current database. He would have to issue a USE database in
the dark to get there.
This is not an uncommon question, so I filed a suggestion for an improvement
in SQL Server. You can vote on it at
