Understood. > If you disable this, obviously you loose also the feature. This is _not_ so obvious. Since when you log on, if the user is not already present in the machine, the user data is created by copying the "Default user" as a template that _has_ these setting in the registry: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#proffold redirections inside the user registry. > Disable if you don't need it. > This share is not meant for the admin to fool > around user's files, but to provide a feature.

You could be right (probably) since all the hints received here from this list _and_ the Samba manual examples tell me to _enable_ folder redirection to have this feature enabled. I was just wondering why. I thought that having the redirection already in the user registry that could be enought. I'll do some tests. I am almost shure that I have to leave it enabled to have the folder redirection working, I was only asking myself why I have to do it.
