I have samba file sharing working on my windows network. In the docs&settings/david folder (on windows xp pc), I see the share folder in the nethood folder and can access it just fine.

For programming access issues, I would like to see the share folder link in the docs&settings/admin and all users folder as well. I am currently logged on to my windows pc as user david, and I was logged in as user david when I set up the samba file sharing.

Is there a way to have samba automatically populate the docs&settings/Admin/nethood or all users/nethood folders with the share folder?

I have a simple set up in the smb.conf file:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Asterisk@Home PBX
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
password server = None
guest ok = yes
guest account = root
security = SHARE
dns proxy = no

[share]
path = /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777

Thanks for your help,

David
 
Silly me....
Whenever I log in as a different user, the share folder link does show up in the nethood folder.

thanks for looking at my post!
