group! The "net share sharingforlder="d:\new folder" isn't restricted to
administrators, 'cos the power users can use it too. I can use the net
command, I can share any folder if I logged in member of administrators, or
member of power users. But I can't share anything if I logged in member of
users group. And nobody can sharing any folder if she/he is a simple user.

============================

Your posts are a little contradictory. In a previous post you said that
members of the users group were unable to execute the command

net share sharingforlder="d:\new folder"

This is called "Creating a share".

Now you imply that the members of the users group cannot execute this
command:

net use x: \\SomePC\sharingfolder

This is called "Mapping a drive letter to a share".

You need to state clearly and unambiguously what you're trying to do as a
member of the users group: To create a share, or to map a drive letter to a
share!
