Is this the same for you? Deleting the file from start button > programs > startup 'solved' it, but I never figured out why it appeared there to begin with. -- Dan
hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ in the profiles share should solve this regards Shane McBride schrieb:> First of all I am new to Samba.

Hi,
The desktop.ini file appears on winXP machines. It stores various settings for
explorer windows and things. Hence if you login to a win2K machine you will see
the desktop.ini file, as it doesn't know what to do with it
Cheers
