[Samba] XP Client and problem with thumbs.db

Hi,

I have a problem with XP as client and the file thumbs.db. It will not 
be created on a samba share (3.0.13-1.1-SUSE). I have several pictures 
on that drive. When I copy a directory with pictures to a local drive, 
the thumbs.db will be created. So I copied the directory back to the 
server and XP uses the thumbs.db because the preview of the pictures is 
very fast. I have deleted the file thumbs.db and the preview is slow 
again and no file will be created.

Any ideas?

P.S.: Here is my SMB.CONF:
