Few weeks ago me and another person sent some mails about the impossibility
to rename multimedia files in samba shares.

I told that was not a problem of samba as windows locked the files for the
preview. Jeremt did not manage to reproduce this effect.

Now I found how come over this problem (and also how to produce it :-) ): In
the Win 2000, I did not any test for XP, folder option-->General, there are
some options. If You flag "Enable Web content in Folders" You will se the
preview of multimedia files on the left of your windows, and you will not be
albe any more to rename or delete these types of files.

I personally think that the behaviour of samba It is correct, and I am
thinking that windows do not lock any file when he open it.

It may seem theorical...

Bye
