Use followin commands

net share shareName=Drive:Path

I also wanted to limit the share so they couldn't delete my files or change them or whatever. So found a registry key that's working so far on my G:\.

Im not sure if it's machine dependent.

You are right, for fixed shares for an unattended windows net share & regfile are okay.

Other, for me, I would like to replace the GUI of sharing folder (same as Windows 2003 but when ForceGuest is activate the full sharing/security is replaced by simple sharing (for Winxp the only bad thing) so I have make a small batch invoked by right click and it shares the folder but each time I must edit registry so not very handy method ...

If anyone know a replacer of sharing folder in windows xp, tell me !

Goodbye.
