Okay, so I should read other posts before responding ;-) At any rate, I think I've discovered the problem - both "hide dot files = yes" and "hide files = /.*/" work, but I think you're expecting them to be removed from the directory list given to the Windows box - they're not, they're just assigned the hidden attribute - so if you've got hidden files visible in Windows Explorer then they'll still be visible, albeit with a semi-transparent icon...but if you tell Windows not to show hidden files then they'll go away. As to the printers thing that's not really a Samba issue, Windows displays it for all PCs that support a certain RPC - it may disappear if you do something like "load printers = no", but I'm not sure.
