strange... just tried it with servers win2k,samba 2.2.3a, samba 2.2.6 and clients 2kpro sp3, xp sp1 (all german edition)
under my computer I see the natwork drive as "blabla" on server xyz(z) but as soon as i drag the share to the desktop the " charcters are automagically removed my smb.conf says character set = ISO8859-15 (but I think this has nothing to do with the problem) which client operating system are you using? bernd > >Problem is that Windows creates such file automatically.

Some info on my configuration Samba 2.2.6 client code page=852 character set=ISO8859-2 When serving files with " character, example: user on "server" (H).lnk (standard link to home drive). Windows 2000 sees something like user~x% It is even worse when such file is located in user profile, which makes it impossible to save user profile to samba server. Coping is possible only from windows to samba (filename is preserved) but coping back fails besause windows see different filename.
