Thanks for the reply
the folder has the FullControl but its not shared
folder name - Right Click -select properties- Sharing tab-Advanced Sharing-Permissions-Read Only
while i want the full control and the Properties should also display it Shared.

Could you add you codes here ?

Sumit Bhargav 4-Dec-13 2:22am

Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share")
Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
inParams("Description") = "Resource Folder"
inParams("Name") = "folder name"
inParams("Path") = "path of folder"
inParams("Type") = &H0
AddFileSecurity("path of folder", "Everyone", "FullControl")
Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject =managementClass.InvokeMethod("Create",inParams,Nothing)

This is my code and it just give a full control to folder but does not give any permission of sharing.
