hi, you all know the preview function that win2k has - when you click on a jpg file, you get you get a small preview of the file in the lower left corner of the explorer-window. the problem is that i cant delete files that are previewed/accessed in such a way (mpeg, jpg, mp3 etc). i've tried several options in the smb.conf, but they all dont seem to work. if someone has a good hint pls let me know. thx thomas ps. getting rid of the preview function is not an option :)
