How do I prevent/change the "Samba 3.0.7" portion of this name.
I certainly do not want to advertise the version that I am using.
     

In your smb.conf [global] add:
	server string = Grany's Apple Pie
   

Sounds like you're using win2003 server or XP.
MS adds the label from server string the first time it's mapped and 
remembers it.
Right-click, rename the mapped drive
