your net share works just fine. To set the folder permissions you need to set the ACL permissions:

$sharepath = "C:\foldername"
$Acl = Get-ACL $SharePath
$AccessRule= New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("everyone","FullControl","ContainerInherit,Objectinherit","none","Allow")
$Acl.AddAccessRule($AccessRule)
Set-Acl $SharePath $Acl

You will notice that "Everyone" will show up with full access permissions on the security tab of the folder.
