Andrej :

I've got it !!!

The problem was a 'browseable = no' on my samba-share \\ultra305\tmp.
If I do in windoze a execute -> \\ultra305, the new explorer-window, which
pops up shows me only my printers and the browseable shares.
Nevertheless I can connect to the non-browseable shares with 'net use'
or via explorer (because I know the sharename).

I set browseable=yes in my smb.conf and the lnk-file is ok, the doubleclick
on the shortcut brings notepad up.

As far as I understood windoze creates the lnk-file and causes the problem.
If the shortcut uses a driveletter, then Windoze creates a correct lnk-file,
if the shortcut uses a UNC-name, it doesn't.

Can't samba catch this (I don't think so) ?

I dont't know NT good enough, can you do a browseable=no on NT also ? What
happened then ?


But, my problem is solved, thanks for your help.
