Default Auto share removable hard drive

Everytime I plugin my portable hard drive I need to create a new share and
set the permissions. Is there anyway to have vista remember the share so
everytime I mount the drive it sets this automatically.

Default Auto share removable hard drive

Hi
When the Drive is plugged in Drill to Control Panel, Computer Management.
Click on Disk Management, right click on the removable drive, and change its
drive letter assignment to high letter (like N. By doing so the Drive
would not compete on the lower letter and would assume always the same
identity. Set the share for the new letter.

There are 3 things you need to do. 1. Make sure file sharing is enabled in
the networking and sharing cetner. 2. Right click the directory go to
properties and create a share, give it the correct share permissions. 3.
Choose the security tab and set the file permission for the directory/files.

If you are not using the everyone account to give open access try to add the
share as a mapped network drive on the other machine, when doing this choose
the "use different user" option and type in the remote credentials.
Sometimes I will get an access denied error when I try to access are secure
share without mapping it first. I think instead of asking for new
credentials like it should vista often try's to use the local account.
