    net share: is the share permanent?


    Local windows 10 machine. (home computer)

    I created a share via net share (CMD). I restarted my computer and noticed the share is still there.

    My question is, when using net share, are these permanent? I would think they would disconnect/delete after shutdown.

    They are permanent. They are also permanent if you do it through the GUI. You have to explicitly delete them - see this MS article: Net share

    Why? If they were deleted you would have to share all your "Shared" folder(s) again every single time you rebooted which would be really annoying.

    You are welcome.

    For what you want you'd have to do it like this I guess
    Code:
    Windows PowerShell

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> net share TempShare=c:\temp
    TempShare was shared successfully.

    and then at some point later...
    Code:
    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> net share TempShare /delete
    TempShare was deleted successfully.
    
    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
