I've had the same problem before I figured of, that having a roaming profile, the Start Menu and the Desktop gets loaded from the Profiles share, and posix has nothing like the hidden attribute. The workaround was to specify hidden files=desktop.ini at the profiles share Cheers, Geza -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I *think* this is put there by Windows whenever you browse the folder in Windows Explorer - it is used to hold the folder display settings specific to that folder. We solved it by adding the following global option to smb.conf : hide files = /desktop.ini/Desktop.ini/ Simon -- Simon Hobson MA MIEE, Technology Specialist Colony Gift Corporation Limited Lindal in Furness, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 0LD Tel 01229 461100, Fax 01229 461101 Registered in England No. 1499611 Regd.

RE: [Samba] Desktop.ini showing up
Dan, The file isn't in the Startup folder, it just sits there on the Desktop. There doesn't seem to be a problem with simply deleting the file, but I do not know if it really is doing something.
