[Samba] Re: roaming profiles

[Ronald]

I think I got everything to work now..
I removed changed /home/samba/profiles/U% to /home/samba/profiles
But everytime I log on, a text file called desktop also open with the following in it:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787
Its not really a problem, but just kinda annoying...Does anyone know how I can remove this?

hi!

try:
path = /home/samba/profiles
instead of
path = /home/samba/profiles/U%
