Public bug reported:

I'm just guessing package name since I can't simply read my way to that
information in the GUI...

I'm trying to share my games folder on the network by right clicking and
selecting the Share on local network option.

I tick Share this folder, and confirm. I expected the folder to be
shared, but instead I get the message:

"net usershare" returned error 255: net usershare add: share name games
is already a valid system user name
