I haven't...can you point me in the right direction?

With a bit of reading and playing, I found a solution that works for my purposes:<br />
<br />
Function Shares(computerName As String)<br />
<br />
strComputer = computerName<br />
Set objWMIService = GetObject(&quot;winmgmts:\\&quot; &amp;&nbsp;strComputer &amp;&nbsp;&quot;\root\CIMV2&quot;)<br />
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(&quot;S<wbr />ELECT * FROM Win32_Share&quot;)<br />
lst2.Clear<br />
For Each objitem In colItems<br />
&nbsp;lst2.AddItem &quot;Name: &quot;&nbsp;&amp; objitem.Name &amp;&nbsp;vbTab &amp;&nbsp;objitem.Path<br />
Next<br />
End Function
</div>

I am looking for a way to find the share paths on a remote machine. This information is visible in the Compmgmt.msc snap in under shares, but I need to extract it programatically in VB6. The path information is retrievable if the remote registry can be read, but often security settings prevent this. Using NET VIEW \\&lt;ComputerName&gt; gives the sharenames, but not the internal pathway associated with them.<br />
The end objective is to find a way to determine whether a share exists on a remote machine which references a specific path on that machine - ie Is there a share on machine ABC which references folder C:\XYZ.

Enumerating share resources on a remote computer

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
