Enable file and folder sharing for the Users Group

[Guest]

How can I enable the file and folder sharing for the Users group? I couldn't find any policy about it. I can restrict the access for any group and user with the registry.(HKCR\CLSID\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6} - Shell extensions for sharing; Read permission deny
But I don't know how can I enable this for the Users group, or any member of the Users group. Please help me!

of the Users group. Please help me!

===========================

Sharing is enabled by default on Win2000. Simply right-click any folder,
then select "Share".

No, I think it isn't true. The Sharing for the members of the Users group isn't enabled by default. The members of the Users group can't share any folder(default). If I run cmd.exe(as a member of Users group) and I try to share a folder than I see this

C:\>net share sharingfolder="d:\new folder
System error 5 has occurred

Access is denied

And there aren't any menu on the right-click panel of a folder. I'm wrong?

The command

net share sharingfolder="d:\new folder"

creates a new share. Its use is restricted to administrators.
Log on as an administrator, then run it again.

To connect to this share, run this command:

net use x: \\YourPC\sharingfolder

The comman

I want to enable the file and folder sharing for the members of the users group! The "net share sharingforlder="d:\new folder" isn't restricted to administrators, 'cos the power users can use it too. I can use the net command, I can share any folder if I logged in member of administrators, or member of power users. But I can't share anything if I logged in member of users group. And nobody can sharing any folder if she/he is a simple user

I'm an administrator and I want to disable the sharing restriction of the Users group. Do you understand me? But I didn't find any policy about it.

============================

Your posts are a little contradictory. In a previous post you said that
members of the users group were unable to execute the command

net share sharingforlder="d:\new folder"

This is called "Creating a share".

Now you imply that the members of the users group cannot execute this
command:

net use x: \\SomePC\sharingfolder

This is called "Mapping a drive letter to a share".

You need to state clearly and unambiguously what you're trying to do as a
member of the users group: To create a share, or to map a drive letter to a
share!

I want to give permission for the members of the Users group to "Creating a share". Because they don't have this permission by default, so they can't share any folder (as you say "Creating a share").

====================

I don't know which particular user right controls the ability to create
shares. You probably have three options:

a) Run gpedit.msc and check out the numerous options available there.

b) Wait until another respondend reads your note and provides an answer.

c) Insteat of letting users create shares, tell them to create folders.
Under Win2000 they can be used as shares.

Example:

net share sharingfolder="d:\new folder" (performed by ad administrator)
md "d:\new folder\share1" (performed by a user)
md "d:\new folder\share2" (performed by a user)

Users can now connect to the new folders like so:

net use x: \\SomeServer\sharingfolder\share1
net use y: \\SomeServer\sharingfolder\share2

A) There aren't any option for it

B) Please wait...and wait...and wait...like Windows..

C) I know it. But no way for me...:

Thanks all!
