I've gotten a share setup by using this:

Dim objWMI As Object = GetObject("winmgmts:\\localhost\root\cimv2")
            Dim objShare As Object = objWMI.Get("Win32_Share")
            intRC = objShare.Create(strPath, strName & "$", intType, intMaxAllowed, strDescr) '$ added to share name to make share "hidden"

But, the share from above allows users to read and write to it. I'm looking for a way to create a read-only share from vb.net. Ideally, I would like to set it up to be password protected also, but read only is much more important.

Thanks for your help.
