Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I'd like to create a hidden share on all of my 9x PCs. Any way to do that? Possibly a registry edit. Thanks, Barrett

I would think that "yes" it is possible to do this with a registry hack. However unless you can find the hack here on the board by doing some searches or on the Web. You may have to do some snapshots of the system before and after. My website has the link to PC Magazines INCTRL 5 program that allows you to do that. (it free). www.kixhelp.com Maybe someone else here has done it and or remembers how, but I think more and more of us have gotten away from Windows 9x Howard still has a lot, and I have some, but I've not written code to do that myself as I've not had the need to do so, but I'm sure it can be done.

See also Windows 98 Registry Handbook: Part One: Security and Remote Administration and you might be able to use RMTSHARE.EXE or SHARe.VBS from the Windows Resource Kit. You might also search the KiXtart BBS for threads about scripting the creation of shares. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	No, I totally forgot about that. Can you also add File and print sharing service through scripting? About 400 have that service installed.
