Thanks for the response.
What puzzles me is that I never have any problem
accessing all files and folders if I login on the Windows machine
(with the same name and password that I use in Samba).

I must admit I don't understand the Windows XP Pro permission setup;
Can you suggest a document that describes this?

How exactly does one determine if one has "full rights" on a folder?
Doesn't the fact that I can browse through a folder on the Windows machine
show that I have full rights on the folder?
