I want to add user to a Share Permission.
Also to remove default Permission to EVERYONE from that
share.

I can create user, create folder and create share.

Can someone Help.

Hi

Some options:

A)
You can use Microsoft's RMTShare.exe to set permission on a share:

Q. How can I modify share permissions from the command line?

B)
SETACL (freeware) at http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ is also an option.
SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares

C)
You can set the security descriptor for the shares with WMI..

SetSecurityDescriptor

Here is a couple of examples on the SetSecurityDescriptor method in Class
Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting (disregard that they use
wbemscripting.swbemlocator instead of winmgmts:, the rest will be the same):
