I've created a program which enables you to easily manage windows shares for media players. One thing I haven't been able to find during the past few months through any search engine, is how to enable/disable password protected sharing (network and sharing center -> advanced sharing settings -> password protected sharing) through command prompt. - It doesn't seem this setting is saved in the registry - I've came across a thread which stated you might be able to set it through "netsh" but I haven't found the solution yet. It would really help me (and others) out if anyone would be able to answer this question. Thanks in advance.

Hi, As far as I know, you can set modify or delete passwords for user account via command, but I’m afraid there is no way to enable Password Protected Sharing via command.

I was afraid of this, but thank you for the answer.
