    You must be thinking of NET USE. NET SHARE has no such switch,
    although it does have /USERS:n which sets the maximum number of
    connections permitted.

    NET SHARE hasn't kept up with the development of Windows' networking
    model. There doesn't seem to be any way to set the ACL on the share
    with NET SHARE or any other NET command. The NET SHARE command
    probably just packages its arguments in a NET_SHARE_INFO_2 or
    NET_SHARE_INFO_502 structure and passes them to NetShareAdd(), and
    these structures only define a single permission mask and password for
    use with share-level security, which modern versions of Windows do not
    implement.

MS Windows *is* user-friendly, but only for certain values of "user".
