I'm sorry, I am either very thick, or I'm not properly explaining what I want to do.

This is what I need to automate: From Network and Sharing Center, select Advanced Sharing Options and on that windows set Public Folder Sharing and Password Protected Sharing toggles. If I can do that from WMI I would be VERY happy. But I am unable to find WMI classes that affect these two settings.

Thanks to everyone. I do not need a simple file share, I need to set advanced sharing options. I beleive that Au3Record may do what I want and I will try it. Thank you.

I want to be able to automate setting advanced sharing, public folder sharing and password protected sharing. I want to be able to do this via command line, vbscript, reg hack, ... However I can. I've googled and binged for days. Tried using regshot to look at before/after registry settings when I manually changed them. Nothing. Any help would be great. Or even if I can find where the settings are stored would be helpful. I can set network discovery and file and printer sharing with "netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=" but there are no groups/rules for public folder sharing and password proteced sharing. Thank you.
