user limits on a share

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

OK...this should be easy...


When you share a folder windows asks for the max number
of user allowed to access it, max allowed or a specific
number - which has a max of 10. (So i assume max allowed
is 10).

At one time I thought I knew that a 'user' was not actually
a one-to-one maping to a user, but a connection, and a user
could have more than one connection to a share, hence the
share limit got used up sooner than expected based on number
of physical users accessing it (does that make sense?).

So...how can I determine the current number of users
(connections) using a particular share and eating into
my 10 user limit?

I suspect a performance counter trakcs this but I can't seem
to find the correct one.

Remember - it's my bd, so you have to be nice to me. :P
