Hi
How does one detect the action of adding/removing a UNC share? I basically just need to know if a share has been added/removed not details about the share itself. A working example would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks SB

AFAIK there is no callback/event mechanism to be notified of such an event so I think you can only enumerate (poll) and compare to the previous state at intervals.
(or the ugly way: hook WNetAddConnection* and WNetCancelConnection* API's)

OK, I found another way.By monitoring the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares\ I can catch changes to it. Thanks for the answer.

@SoulBlade: You should provide that answer as a "normal" answer and not as a comment. Then people can vote on it (an you can accept it).

BTW I thought you wanted to monitor adding/removing a connection to a share (a mapped drive) so my answer doesn't really address your question.

:-(Ja, I just wanted to know if someone is sharing (or removing it) a folder. I thought windows might have a message for that.
