Title: tell if a folder is shared?
{Following code needs to use ShlObj, ComObj, ActiveX Units}
function TForm1.IfFolderShared(FullFolderPath: string): Boolean;

end;

spurious "?"s in date/time detail fields }

Result := StringReplace(Result, '?', '', [rfReplaceAll]);

{How to use the function?
The parameter in is the full path of a folder}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if IfFolderShared('C:\My Documents\WinPopup') then ShowMessage('shared')
else
ShowMessage('not shared');
end;
