I need to add a radio button( with yes/no options) on my VBA application which should modify the sharing property of a folder kept in any drive at the same PC. When I will choose yes then that particular folder will be shared else it will not share.

What I have tried:

I am not getting any idea about how to achieve this as I am new to VBA.
I am thinking to create a separate windows application for this task but I will go for this option if this task will not be possible through VBA.

VBA runs in Office Applications, so you will need to check the documentation to see how to access properties of files and directories.

Yes you are right, we can modify properties like read/write/change/full control ,folder permissions but not sharing properties.
Since I couldn't find any relevant result on google for sharing/Unsharing properties.
