Sharing a folder programatically

Does anyone know how to programatically share a folder over a network?

I know how to create a folder, name it, etc. using the File System Object, but after I create it I want to share it over a network. Is this possible???

Thanks in advance,

If you create it within the confines of the network it is already shared over the network as long as it's directory is on a shared drive.
IE.
If G is the drive for your global directory, then your folder must reside on G : If it is on C then G will not see it. And on and on...

HeSaidJoe, thanks for the reply, but that doesn't answer my question. A computer can reside on a network without any shared drives or folders. I want to be able to share my folder and it's sub-folders without depending on an existing drive or folder being shared.

Also, as a second part to my original question, if you can share a folder progrmatically, how do you specify the type of share (read-only, full, or depends on password) and the password associated with the type of share?

Thanks,
