This code share folder

private static void QshareFolder(string FolderPath, string ShareName, string Description)
{
try{
    // Create a ManagementClass object

    ManagementClass managementClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_Share");

    // Create ManagementBaseObjects for in and out parameters

    ManagementBaseObject inParams = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");

    ManagementBaseObject outParams;

    // Set the input parameters

    inParams["Description"] = Description;

    inParams["Name"] = ShareName;

    inParams["Path"] = FolderPath;

    inParams["Type"] = 0x0; // Disk Drive

    //Another Type:

    // DISK_DRIVE = 0x0

    // PRINT_QUEUE = 0x1

    // DEVICE = 0x2

    // IPC = 0x3

    // DISK_DRIVE_ADMIN = 0x80000000

    // PRINT_QUEUE_ADMIN = 0x80000001

    // DEVICE_ADMIN = 0x80000002

    // IPC_ADMIN = 0x8000003

    //inParams["MaximumAllowed"] = int maxConnectionsNum;

    // Invoke the method on the ManagementClass object

    outParams = managementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, null);

    // Check to see if the method invocation was successful

    if ((uint) (outParams.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value) != 0)

    {

        throw new Exception("Unable to share directory.");

    }

}catch (Exception ex)
