how to view open shares?
Try the net file command. Just enter net file in an open command prompt
window. If you are unsure how to do that enter cmd in the run box and hit OK. Steve "lawpoop" wrote in message ... On an XP box, how can I see what shares and files are currently being access by other users? |

Using Run, it'll just flash and go away before you can read it. You could put the command in a bacth file followed by a pause to keep it onscreen. Or just use the Command Prompt.

A direct answer for the OP later, first addressing what Twayne has said and the confusion that may have existed in "Old Rookie"'s response... Actually, I believe "Old Rookie" was saying that you could do the following (if they had not put in "cmd" instead of the full word, I would have thought like you have.): Click on the Start button -- Click on RUN -- type in: cmd -- Click OK. Then use the resulting command prompt window that appears to run your commands in. As an alternative... Click on the Start button -- Click on RUN -- type in: cmd /k your command line command -- Click OK. So you could have: cmd /k ipconfig or cmd /k net file or cmd /k net use or cmd /k net localgroup administrators Each will open a command prompt displaying the results of the command line command you wanted and leave that command prompt window open for you to use. Yes - I know one can also enter "command" instead of "cmd" in the RUN "Open" box and get a command prompt - but it is not the same command prompt. A CMD 'command prompt' vs. a COMMAND 'command prompt' window discussion(s) can be found he http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000395.htm http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/001935.html http://www.terryscomputertips.com/co...-dos-shell.php However - for the OP - here is what _I_ would do to see what shares and files are currently being access by other users... - Right-click on the "My Computer" icon. - Choose "Manage". - Expand "System Tools". - Expand "Shared Folders". - Select "Shares" to see shares and how many clients (if any) are actively connected to the shares. - Select "Sessions" to see whom is connected from which computers and how many files they have open from there as well as additional information. - Select "Open Files" to see which files are being accessed actively by other users, etc. Hope that helps! -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
