NetShareAdd problem

[EugeneG]

Hello, All,
I needed a simple folder creation and sharing automation under Win98 and decided to use VC++ 6.0 and API functions. All it does is reading through a text file of account names, creates folders, generates a random pwd, shares folders and prints a report. Everything works fine (folder do get shared, shares persist after restart, access pwd is set), BUT the folder bitmaps do not change to the shared "hand", and the sharing properties cannot be seen if you right-click->properties (says "Not Shared&quot. Although shared they are. Is this normal? The code I used for sharing was basically copy-pasted from msdn

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...mgmt/netshareadd_sample_windows_95_98_me_.asp

with minor changes like full sharing pwd and the persist flag.
Thanks for your help!

Try to add this:
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_NETSHARE, SHCNF_PATH, pDirectoryToShare, NULL);
