Thanks for this. I've been meaning to do something like this for a while but I hadn't got round to googling it. Would you happen to know if I would be able to share a hole drive with write access fora given user as apposed to sharing every folder indervidually? I'm used to disabling simple file sharing on my pc's and then having access to the default admin shares which include every drive. On that note, do you know if I am able to append $'s to the share names so that they are hidden like I do in windows? Once again, thanks.
