Browsing a Samba share on a Windows machine, I notice after a short while that it has created a
$RECYCLE.BINfolder in within the network share, usually containing a singledesktop.inifile. How do I prevent my Windows clients from creating this file, either on the Samba server (Linux) or the Windows clients themselves?Even if Windows creates the folder and I delete it on the server side, without deleting any other files, eventually the folder will re-appear (with
desktop.iniinside of it). It's as if Windows is creating and deletingdesktop.iniat random intervals.A similar question asked how to prevent creation or hide this file, but I only want to know how to prevent creation.
