Hi all, got a small problem with a windows XP client when logging onto a 2.7 samba server. While the user can log on o.k., every time they do, notepad fires up and opens desktop.ini for editing. Can anyone suggest why and how to fix this. Alex Sent using Mulberry 3.01a

I've also seen this problem. I changed from roaming to local profiles (because our office is not going to use roaming profiles), and I think fixed the problem with desktop.ini.

If you log into the domain, then right click in the Start menu, and click on the Open, you can edit the start manu entries. Go find every desktop.ini especially in Startup folder, and delete them all! Maybe you have to do this twice or more.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you have mixed flavours of windows using the same profile(s), you will see this problem. I have seen this when mixing 2k and xp clients with the same profile. If you wish, you can look at the "%a" variable substitution that guesses what architecture the machine currently connecting is and use it in the profiles path. i.e logon home = /var/lib/samba/profiles/%a/%U Then each user would have a profile for different architectures. I beleive xp and 98/ME is currently found a UNKNOWN but 2k/NT/95/WfWg are recognised. You may need to experiment with a, "preexec" command to log to a file what architecture is found, to see how well, "%a" performs with your clients. i.e. preexec = echo %a %U >> /tmp/architecture in the [ netlogon ] share definition will log the user and the architechture to the given file each time they log on.

Hi there, Am 29 Mar 2004 um 14:00 hat Guenther Deschner geschrieben:> > While the user can log on o.k., every time they do, notepad fires up and > > opens desktop.ini for editing.I encountered the same Problem on a Samba 3.0.2a an WinXP clients. It seems to be a Problem (?) of WinXP when creating a roaming userprofile for the first time. When the user was logged and had closed the editor windows, he had to delete the entries of 'desktop(.ini)' in the windows start menu and in the autostart folder of the start menu. After deleting these entries they never appeared again... Uwe
