Greetings --

    The tighter security of Win2K and WinXP has elevated the privilege
of creating shares to Power Users, by default. It's not something
many network admins want normal users doing.

    You can add the privilege to the local Users group, if you like.
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Settings > Local
Policies > User Rights Assignments.
