[Samba] Display Windows folder in SAMBA client

[Grosswiler Roger]

Hi,

if you take your share in the smb.conf where you have your homes, just put
a /%U at the end, this makes the homes share per user his own-directory,
so they don't see anything else

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        path = /user/%U
        browseable = no
        writeable = yes

have fun!
