I removed all the entries from 
\\HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComputerDescriptions, 
and rebooted the PC. Using network neighborhood, v2.2.8 is still showing as 
the description. However, now in Windows explorer it shows v3.0.7 for those 
shares mounted from the samba server.

How is the v2.2.8 getting back in the browse.dat file?
