Windows XP + apache

I have a winXP box with apache 2.

There are some scripts running to modify the httpd.conf file, after
that I need to restart apache. This works fine (apache -k restart)
when apache is running as a service.

Also I have a script that checks if there is enough free space on my
harddisk and on a shared harddisk.
Only the script doesn't return the value from the share.

If I run apache as a console aplication I can access the share normaly
and the value is returned. But when it runs as a console aplication
the apache -k restart function doesn't work.

When apache is running as a service (with system as user) the apache
-k restart function is working good, but the server than has no rights
to the share so it can't return the correct value.
I also tried running the service as myself (by changing the username),
also in this case the script doesn't work.

Does anyone have a solution for this??

ps. sorry for my bad english
