    NetShareEnum (..) winapi not able to remove unnecessary sharefolders

    For getting the share folder name i have been used the following code , here i am able to get the folder names . But the problem what i am facing is along with the share folder created by the user it gives some extra folder also , i don't know how to prevent the programe to hide that unnecessary folder names . Like in my case i am getting "cc_views"(used for clearcase) and "Users" folders , which i want to remove from my folder lists .

    I wrote the following codes , Please help in getting the correct output .

    #ifndef UNICODE
    #define UNICODE
    #endif
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <lm.h>
    #pragma comment(lib, "Netapi32.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib, "Advapi32.lib")

    void wmain( int argc, TCHAR *lpszArgv[ ])
    {
    PSHARE_INFO_502 BufPtr,p;
    NET_API_STATUS res;
    LPTSTR lpszServer = NULL;
    DWORD er=0,tr=0,resume=0, i;

    switch(argc)
    {
    case 2:
    lpszServer = lpszArgv[1];
    break;
    default:
    printf("Usage: NetShareEnum <servername>\n");
    //return;
    }
    //
    // Print a report header.
    //
    printf("ShareFolderName\n");
    printf("---------------\n");
    //
    // Call the NetShareEnum function; specify level 502.
    //
    do // begin do
    {
    res = NetShareEnum ((LPSTR)lpszServer, 502, (LPBYTE *) &BufPtr, MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH, &er, &tr, &resume);
    //
    // If the call succeeds,
    //
    if(res == ERROR_SUCCESS || res == ERROR_MORE_DATA)
    {
    p=BufPtr;
    //
    // Loop through the entries;
    // print retrieved data.
    //
    for(i=1;i<=er;i++)
    {
    LPCTSTR str = (LPCTSTR)p->shi502_remark;
    if(!(lstrcmpi(str,L"Remote admin")==0 ||lstrcmpi(str, L"Remote IPC")==0 || lstrcmpi(str,L"Default share")==0)) //Help in removing from extra folder based on the remarks
    printf("%-20S%\n",p->shi502_netname);
    p++;
    }
    //
    // Free the allocated buffer.
    //
    NetApiBufferFree(BufPtr);
    }
    else
    printf("Error: %ld\n",res);
    }
    // Continue to call NetShareEnum while
    // there are more entries.
    //
    while (res==ERROR_MORE_DATA); // end do
    return;
    }

    The API is not aware of your desires. It just enumerates shares available on the target host. If you want something in the list be filtered out, please do it yourself.
    Best regards,

    Before posting, please properly format your code with indentations etc so that if can be read and understood more easily. Also please use code tags (Go Advanced, select code and click '#').

    This is the only way you are going to restrict what is displayed. NetShareEnum returns info about ALL shares on the target computer that are available. What you do with the returned info is up to you. The info returned about a share also includes the type of share and the path being shared. This may also be useful to filter out unwanted entries.
