Peter,
I see your point.

"Net Share" gives you the complete path of each folder shared. "Net
View \\Computer" only lists the share names. Yet another reason why
the Win9x/ME product line sucks even more than the WinNT/2K/XP product
line.
My sympathies to you. I bought my mother an ME based computer last
year - and regretted it this year - when I visited her - for many
reasons. She, unfortunately, will understand none of them.
Cheers,
Chuck
