If they've been disabled you can re-enable them like so:

REG Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters /v AutoShareServer /t REG_DWORD /d 1

But it will require a reboot to pick up the change.

You can bypass reboot with restart service after regtweak :

::Browser is dependant of lanmanserver, so we stop the service
sc stop browser
:: Wait a moment during stopping service ...
ping 127.0.0.1 >NUL
:: Shutdown lanmanserver (shared folder ...)
sc stop lanmanserver
:: Wait a moment during stopping service ...
ping 127.0.0.1 >NUL
:: Restart Browser, due to dependence lanmanserver restart too
sc start browser

That works just great

Thanks
