Hi

See "Create a Network Share" in the section "Files and Folders" at TechNet
Script Center
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter

To set rights on shares/folders (I recommend using the command line utility
SetACL for this):

===========================================================
ADSI:

You can use IADsSecurityUtility's SetSecurityDescriptor method to set the
security descriptor on a specified file, file share, or registry key object.

===========================================================
WMI:

Platform SDK: Windows Management Instrumentation
SetSecurityDescriptor Method in Class Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting

===========================================================
Command line, you can shell out from a vbscript with e.g. the Run method

SETACL at http://www.helge.mynetcologne.de/setacl/ , a nice freeware
app that adds a lot to cacls and xcacls.

SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares

Be sure to add permissions, and not replace them.
