ShareCtrl

This program is meant to keep casual observers from stumbling onto directories that you may not want seen.

The nice part about this program is once you have created all the shares that you need, you can launch the program, select the auto mode check box, and then turn all of your shares on or off with a single click.

This program uses the File.SetAttributes method in VB .NET 8, setting the attributes on the file or folder using the .NET Framework's API.
This method is subject to the limitations and security restrictions imposed by the .NET Framework. This program also sets the directory to a system directory prior to using the File.SetAttributes method, this provides an additional layer of protection and makes it more difficult for users to accidentally stumble upon the hidden directory.
