    Server is the name of the server to check in UNC Format (\\ServerName), or can be left blank ("") for the local machine.

    ShareType is the type of Share to look for, and can be one of the following values, FileShares = 1, PrinterShares = 2, DeviceShares = 3, IPC Shares = 4. If not specified ShareType defaults to FileShares (1).

    ShowHidden, if set to true, the returned collection will include any hidden or system shares (denoted by a trailing $ sign on the share name). ShowHidden default to false if not specified.

    ShowPath, if set to true, will populate the path property in the share info object. If set to false (the default), then the path property is not populated. If ShowPath is specified, then server operator rights are required to complete the request.
