Re: API NetShareAdd not really working

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

As Ralph suggested, this is normal. Sharing is one thing, and setting the
permissions is another. However, if this is intended for general use,
downloadable product, then leave both the sharing and permissions to the end
user's network administrators. If you do it yourself, they will hate it
because it seems like someone changed their network security without their
knowledge.

If this is for a single user, then it can be done with a batch file using
"NET SHARE" and CACLS or SetACL. In VB, you can set the permissions using
the routines in the following article:

Also see Q240176: "HOWTO: Set Security on a NTFS Folder Programmatically" in
MSDN Library Oct 2001, but the routines in the article above are easier to
use.
