How to re-add shared folder on Windows Server Essential 2012 R2 without losing existing NTFS permission

After reinstall and configured Windows server essential service on our server, we need to re-add the shared folder that we need to publish on remote access of WSE.

But when i did some testing, the NTFS permission was re-write based on the setup made on WSE dashboard. How can we preserve all existing NTFS permission when we add the shared folder on WSE?

thank you.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, you may try to modify the registry below.
    SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
