[Samba] Roaming Profile XP

[Adrian Chow]

HI,

I have put the wallpapers found in c:\windows\web\wallpapers into Samba's
shared directory.  And I point the desktop wallpaper to the Samba shared
directory.  But it did not work when i tried logging in another machine.

Please help.  Any way to copy stuff from Local Settings to Samba?
