Remove share when deleting / moving dir

If you have a directory that is shared and you try to move it or delete it, Windows Explorer also removes the share so that if you later create a directory with the same name it's not shared anymore.
I think Total Commander should remove the share too in those cases (no, not because Windows Explorer does it: because it makes sense).

I agree!

I also think TC should be able to recognize when a share is set or removed by Explorer - at least after pressing F2/Ctrl+R. As it is now I have to either restart TC or to open the share setting dialog, to make TC recognize that a share has been changed (Win XP SP2).

I have tried this by getting the shares before each delete of a folder, but it was so terribly slow that I had to remove it. I have no idea how the explorer can do this at a reasonable speed, sorry.
