KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
If you delete a shared directory from File Manager or from a command
prompt, the share (that is, the share name and permissions) is not
deleted. Other members of your domain or workgroup can still view the
share but cannot connect to it. After you exit and restart Windows NT,
the share is deleted. If you want to remove the share immediately, you
can manually delete the share from File Manager, or stop and restart
the Server service from Control Panel.
