How can I create a shared folder from the Windows command line?

cmd, shared-directory, windows

Solution

`C:\>` `net help share`

For example:

To share a computer's `C:\Data` directory with the share name `DataShare` and include a remark, type:

`net share DataShare=c:\Data /remark:"For department 123."`

Problem

As far as I'm aware, this is done via the `net` command. However, the help section isn't very helpful, as it only shows me the secondary options and not how to use those. Suppose I had a folder `C:\Share_test` How would I make it shared from the command line?
