So you create a folder using the winxp machine? but where is that folder created? on the winxp's harddrive, but in the shared folder? or is it created in some network share on the server? Also, you claim "SAMBA deletes all new created folder by WinXP users in their home folders..." I find that hard to believe. That sounds more like a windows problem. A
