I copied a few million files from one disk array to another on a Server 2008 box. Then I wanted to move the share that people used to access those files, so it would point at the new location of the files.

I innocently clicked "stop sharing" on the first share, thinking it would just delete a record somewhere, and deny network access to the directory.

That was an hour ago, and Windows still says "Stop sharing... this may take a few minutes". I assume that means it's updating the permissions on every file in under the shared directory. yay.

How can I figure out how much longer I have to wait?

What happens if I click cancel?

Thanks!
