Hi, I am using a logon script to modify the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Desktop to %LOGONSERVER%\profiles\%USERNAME%. On the samba server I have a share that hosts the profiles under %N\profiles\%U However, if I create a file on the desktop, nothing shows up on the desktop. What is even weirder, if I look at the H: drive which is defined by samba under logon drive = H:, I see the file in this directory. Does anyone know why this might be happening with Samba?

Does anyone know why this might be happening with Samba?Does it show up if you press F5 on the desktop? My first thought would be that the desktop doesn't automatically scan for new files, it relies entirely on being notified whenever a new file is created. Since Samba only does this under certain circumstances, that would be my first guess. Pressing F5 (or right-click Refresh) should force the desktop to rescan the folder and make any new files appear (if this is the problem.) Cheers, Adam.

The profiles share will be overwritten by the local copy of the user profile (usually C:\Documents and Settings\%username%) upon user logoff. So you should not directly write to this directory. -- Wolfgang Ratzka
