Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC. It really renders the H:\ pretty useless. It also seems to occur only if you are logged onto a certain machine. Is anyone aware of any causes? Certain software packages that maybe create odd directories in a user's home path?

Yes, sorry about that... They look to be hexidecimal. Maybe up to 8 or 10 digits at most. Really odd, it seems like there may be directories named 0 through a really large heax number... As there are around 15000 of these directories, you can imagine how hard it is to really do a listing. Or do anything once with the listing once it is complete... ...and windows explorer has a wonderful time looking at them all too.

Ever heard of a virus? They tend to do things like that. *******> Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become > inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? > This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC.
