VNDDE.EXE FAQ's
Question:
I used VNDDE.EXE to set up my shares, but now I want to modify some
share settings. If I run VNDDE.EXE again, will it overwrite my changes?
Solution:
No. VNDDE.EXE first checks to see if the share exists. If it exists,
VNDDE.EXE does not modify any settings. If it does not exist, it is
created.
Additional Help
