Create hidden share on remote server from vb.net code behind??

[freenews.netfront.net]

Hi,

I am writing an asp.net / Active Directory application using vb.net in it's
code-behind pages. The app is running on the W2k3 (r1) domain controller
(e.g. server1). Does anyone know how to create a hidden share, from
vb.net, for an existing folder on a remote server? e.g. for a folder
\\server2\D$\foldera\folderb\123456 I want to create a share on server2
\\server2\123456$ and give user 123456 full control of that folder.

Thanks for thinking about this, if you do, and apologies if this is the
wrong group..

Arth.
