Hello everyone, my situation is as follows. I have an updating program to update a file every night. That file is in local harddisk, but is shared to the network users. I would like to write a script to unshare the file, then run the update program, then share the file again. Are there any scripts to do that? Please advice, thanks.

Just make batch files using net share and net share /delete commands.

heropsycho2177: Thanks, it works. :) racoonracer: Tried this method. Actually it's an access database file, whereby a few people will be using. The task was to repair and compact the file. However, I keep getting an error that the file is being locked by one of the users, which the user has already off his PC.
