If I have disabled browing profiles (am I right in disabling this option?) why I should exclude some dirs from the browsing profiles if they do not actually have any chance to be replicated? The profiles share is important to have romaing profiles, i.e. user profiles get saved on the server when the user logoff the workstation, so it can be loaded on another machine, if the user changes workstation. This is the source of slow-down login/logoff: the profile must be transfered from and to the server. If you disable this, obviously you loose also the feature. 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. Folder redirection is a mean to off-load this data transit between server x workstation, pointing potentially 'fat' folders outside the user profile, so they don't get touched on login/logout. Meaningless if you disable profiles share.

This is the source of slow-down login/logoff: the profile must be transfered from and to the server. 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. Understood. Folder redirection is a mean to off-load this data transit between server x workstation, pointing potentially 'fat' folders outside the user profile, so they don't get touched on login/logout. Meaningless if you disable profiles share. Understood. 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.
