[Samba] Avoiding the desktop.ini notepad popup on startup, and other hidden files.
Andrew, Upon searching the internet on how to remove the "desktop.ini - Notepad" window upon start up, I came across your reply to Samuel Partida about using: hidefiles = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ However, I am a neophyte home user, using Windows XP Professional. I have no idea why this notepad screen started popping up upon start up. It just started. It is irritating as all get out. I don't think I am using NT on my home system, as your insert would imply. Can I use this line to solve my problem at home? And, the big question is, Where do I insert this line? Many, many thanks in advance if you can help me!

The following line is from one of the emails from the thread the other day regarding this. I don't recall anyone saying to use 'veto file'. hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ -- Andrew Gaffney Network Administrator Skyline Aeronautics, LLC. 636-357-1548 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Avoiding the desktop.ini notepad popup on startup, and other hidden files.
Hi there, we had some problems with that issue, i know it is covered and i solved it with veto file = /*ktop.ini/ etc... But now i'm thinking about it again, it's because Windows XP saves some metainformation in some hidden files, one of them is desktop.ini, which is very annoying because notepad is opened on every user session, but, there is another file, thumbs.db, it becomes visible on remote shares and roaming profiles. My question is: it is possible to mantain the functionallity of those files while make them hidden? Maybe with hide files? If I use hide files instead of veto files for desktop.ini will dissapear the problem of the notepad pop up? I'm going to make another Samba server for testing those things but I'm short of time now so if someone know the answer it would help a lot. :) Thanks and excuse my english!!
