Re: CE 5.0 and Workgroups/Domains

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

I have two shares setup. AppData, Temp. I set the CE Device name to: aadl1

I added the following lines to Project.reg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Smbserver]
"AdapterList"="*"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares]
"UseAuthentication"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\AppData]
"Path"="\\Application Data"
"Type"=dword:0
"UserList"="admin,testuser"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Smbserver\Shares\Temp]
"Path"="\\Temp"
"Type"=dword:0
"UserList"="admin,testuser"

Typing "\\aadl1\Temp" or "\\aadl1\AppData" does not work. Explorer returns a
Path not found error.

Have I setup the shares corectly?
