Command Line - Turn off Password protected sharing

To turn off password-protected sharing using the command line in Windows, you can use the net command to manage sharing settings. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges. To do this, search for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu, right-click on it, and select "Run as administrator."

2. To disable password-protected sharing, use the following command:

   shellCopy code
   net.exe share <share_name> /remove
   
   

   Replace <share_name> with the name of the shared folder you want to remove. This command removes the shared folder and turns off password-protected sharing for that specific shared folder.

3. If you want to completely disable password-protected sharing for all shared folders, you can do the following:

   shellCopy code
   net.exe share /delete
   
   

   This command will remove all shared folders on the system and disable password-protected sharing for all of them.

4. After running the command, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Please note that making changes to sharing settings may have security implications, so be sure to consider the potential risks before making such changes on a network-connected system.
