Here's the behavior I see accessing shares from a Win2K install running in VMware (named Osgiliath): Shared folders that have apostrophes in the names do not appear at the share level, but will appear as subfolders of shared directories. So if I share My Documents and My Documents\Bob's Tattoos from Osgiliath, only My Documents appears under smb://osgiliath. Opening the My Documents share reveals Bob's Tattoos amongst all the other subdirectories. Rename Bob's Tattoos to Bobs Tattoos, and both My Documents and Bobs Tattoos appear under smb://osgiliath. Win2K seems to have no problem with the apostrophe'd share. > -- > Mike Chambers > Madisonville, KY > > "Hand over the code, and no one gets hurt!" -- Michael Knepher <limbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
