samba - Mar 2004 - can Desktop.ini files be made to work on samba shares?

Is it possible to make Desktop.ini files active on samba shares? Ideally I would
like to do two things:

1. make certain shares display special icons

Desktop.ini:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=27
ConfirmFileOp=0

2. have exploratory texts pop-up when users explore certain shares (similar to
the messages that pop
up when users go to the windows directory.

Desktop.ini:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=27
ConfirmFileOp=0
InfoTip=this is a warning text

Using these files on local folders works jsut fine but on a samba share I
can't get it to take effect.


Thanks for any help with this.
