Trying to create a windows briefcase from Windows XP, on a read/write samba share does not work. Instead of a briefcase "special" icon, you get a standard folder. Inside it is a desktop.ini and a file with the same name as the directory. Much googling has turned up nothing but a few posts saying "make the folder read only". Windows creates the folder as read only anyway, so I'm stuck. I read a post saying it was something to do with profiles. I don't know any more than that, can someone shed light? Cheers, MAL
