Regards!
i think it is not a wise idea..
take alook at the option hide files (S), in
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html
vetoing the desktop.ini file can cause Guido to loose some configuration..
please correct me if i am wrong, and forgive my rude english, as it is
not my first language.
