Script To Share Out All Folders In a Folder

3 New Member
Hello,

Does anyone know how to write a script to share out all folders inside a certain folder. Also the shares need to be hidden?

Thanks,

Chris

VBscript or maybe a batch file....but if you only do it to one computer it might be better just to do it manually. to make a share hidden at the end of the share name put a '$', example:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. \\computer1\folder$
  2.

Yeah I know how to do it manually but the problem is that I have to do it to nearly 200 folders. I want to be able to do it with a batch file but I am not sure how.

The reason for this is I am migrating the server that has our users home folders on it. Inside the users folder there is all the users folder. I need to share out all 200 of the users folders as hidden.

Thanks

this is how to create a hidden share:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. net share share1$="c:\program files" 
  2.  
with that you'll create a share called share1$ and it will link to program files.

Thanks. Can you do a For loop in there to do all the folders inside a folder. I don't know how the code would be but the psudocode would be "For all folders inside users folder"

i don't know how to do a for loop for a batch file, but y don't you share the parent folder? then the sub-folders within will be shared too, then at least you won't have 200+ extra shares showing up in network places

Hi, I finally figured out the best way to synch local and remote script folders, containing many php script files. What I used to do before was try to ftp all the changed files, etc. which was tedious and often broke. It was also very slow. What I do now is to pkzip the folder up, ftp the pkzip’ed data to remote, and then unzip it there, which recreates the directories and files.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
