Thanks, I'll look into that but since it really has not been a problem its
not a big priority.

BTW, if there is really a bug in samba that is not easily fixed I could
easily in 60 minutes
or less write a client program (nt service) that sends the F5 key to any
open explorer windows
every X seconds. I know this is not the optimal solution as it will
definitely waste system
resources but it would work.
