ISharingConfigurationManager::ShareExists method (shobjidl_core.h)

Queries whether the Users or Public folder is shared.

Syntax

HRESULT ShareExists(
  [in] DEF_SHARE_ID dsid
);

Parameters

[in] dsid

Type: DEF_SHARE_ID

One of the DEF_SHARE_ID values that indicates the folder whose sharing state is being checked.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

S_OK if the folder is shared; otherwise, S_FALSE.

Remarks

Because as of Windows 7 Public is shared in-place through Users, callers should always check for the Users share first. If a share is found to exist on Users, then it follows that a share exists on Public as well.
