It seems like I upgraded Samba from a cooker site a day or two ago. Maybe that fixed the problems I was having before and I hadn't realized they were fixed. Whatever happened, Samba is working fine now with Windows XP Pro.
Incidently, there also are Samba Windows Registry files for Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, and Win2K in:
/usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.2.7a/docs/Registry/
Comments at the begining of each indicate they are for different Samba-related purposes (Windows *.reg files are text files that can be viewed with a text editor). Anyone using Samba with any version of Windows probably should have a look at them.

I have a WinXP machine connected to samba running on 9.1rc2+cooker and it works just fine. I had some issues at first getting Windows to connect right, but once I got the kinks out it works great. One thing I did which I'm not exactly sure will make a difference in your case is on the Windows machine import the file /usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.2.7a/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg into the registry. Saw some references to it on the web when I was trying to get Windows to behave. Anyway, works for me. *shrug*
