Question How to Delete Windows Samba Shares


Hope this is the correct forum...

I have a FC5 and WinXP box on our home LAN, and have Samba working to share Linux shares with the WinXP box. While getting Samba to work, I've deleted certain FC5 samba shares and added others that are available for a specified Samba user. On a re-login on the WinXP box as the Samba server user, the deleted shares are still displayed under Microsoft Windows Network, along with the new shares.

If I delete a Samba share on the FC5 box, how do I make them "disappear" on the WinXP box? In other words, how do I get the WinXP box to recognize changes to defined Samba shares for a Samba user? I'm guessing this is a registry issue - but where...

TIA,
Jon

Thanks, Shawnw, but I've already tried that. There is no delete option available.

To clarify, I've user Windows Explorer to navigate:
My Network Places
-> Entire Network
-> Microsoft Windows Network
-> HomeGroup (our home workgroup name)
-> Localhost (our FC5 Samba server)

Under here, I see deleted Samba share shr (the one I've deleted on our Samba server). Left-clicking this displays "\\Localhost\shr not accessable..." which I expect. Right-clicking it does not provide a delete option.

Can anyone assist with how to delete this obsolete named share from my WinXP box?
