IWindowsMediaLibrarySharingServices::put_computerHomeMediaSharingAllowedState method

The put_computerHomeMediaSharingAllowedState method specifies whether media libraries on the computer are allowed to be shared on the home network.

Syntax


HRESULT put_computerHomeMediaSharingAllowedState(
   VARIANT_BOOL sharingAllowed
);

Parameters

sharingAllowed

A VARIANT_BOOL that specifies VARIANT_TRUE if media libraries are allowed to be shared or VARIANT_FALSE if media libraries are not allowed to be shared.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return codeDescription
S_OK

The method succeeded.

 

Remarks

This method must be called by code running under elevated privileges.

If home media sharing is not allowed for the computer, none of the users' media libraries are shared on the home network, regardless of whether individual users have enabled home media sharing.

If home media sharing is allowed for the computer and a particular user has enabled media sharing, then that user's media library is shared on the home network.

Warning  Each call to put_computerHomeMediaSharingAllowedState with the sharingAllowed parameter set to VARIANT_TRUE updates the access control list (ACL) and last changed time of each file in the computer's Public Music, Public Pictures, and Public Videos folders. This behavior might change in future versions of Windows.
