Windows 10: Is there a way to share the contents of multiple folders all under one network share?

My setup:

.. E:\Folder1 .......\SubFolderE1 .......\SubFolderE2 .......\SubFolderE3 .. F:\Folder2 .......\SubFolderF1 .......\SubFolderF2 .......\SubFolderF3

I would like to create a network share that looks like this:

.. Z:\SharedFolder .......\SubFolderE1 .......\SubFolderE2 .......\SubFolderE3 .......\SubFolderF1 .......\SubFolderF2 .......\SubFolderF3

I'm trying to share the contents of multiple folders, but I would like them to appear as a single network share. I've seen some people on other forums suggest using symlinks/junctions, which would work great except I have quite a lot of subfolders that will need to be added. Additionally, new subfolders are created all of the time, so it's not practical for me to go in and create new links ever time a new subfolder is created.

Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
   
4. Click the Shares item.
   
5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.
   

Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

There is no option to stop it as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Sharing a folder

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate your time and patience to work on this issue.

To know the username of your computer, please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Type Command prompt in the search bar.
   
2. Right click on the Command prompt icon and select Run as Administrator.
   
3. Type whoami in Command Prompt window and press Enter.
   
4. You will find the username of the computer, use the username and your password to access the file from the shared folder.
   

However, if the above steps didn’t help, I suggest you to turn off password protected sharing and check if that helps.

1. Press and hold Windows + R key on the keyboard.
   
2. Type Control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Click on Network and Sharing Center.
   
4. Click on Change advance sharing settings.
