Connect to special/hidden shares

Is it possible to connect to the hidden/special shares on some network computers from a VB application? i mean C$, D$, ADMIN$, other_share$.
i have the local user Administrator and the password for those computers.
Can it be done without having to use shell commands (net use, nbtstat etc) ? I know is a little bit unsecure but this would be great for me. I need to place some shortcuts, or applications in the startup for each user. I think i can do this connecting as admin.

any ideea is welcomed. thx
Seba

check the win32api.txt file and search for 'windows network support'

everything is listed in that section regarding the functions you need

i know how to do it under delphi, but ain't converted it to vb yet
