LinuxQuestions.org - Mint Not Saving Samba Sharing Settings After Restart/Shutdown

I pieced this PC together cheaply in December for a small home file server/HTPC. I wanted to dabble in Linux since i'm an IT major in school but I don't have much experience with Linux. I first tried Ubuntu and it was a nightmare. I had so many issues with it I switch to Linux Mint. But I’m presented with a different problem. Everything is set-up correctly except for when I turn off the system or do a restart the samba shares settings are gone and I have to go back and share the folders again. I've tried working with the SMB.conf file but the problem still persists. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I will attach the smb.conf file so you guys can look it over.
Code:
#======================= Global Settings =======================



[global]



## Browsing/Identification ###



# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of

        workgroup = WORKGROUP

        force user = Bryon



# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

        server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)



# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server

#  wins support = no



# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client

# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both

;  wins server = w.x.y.z



# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.

        dns proxy = no



#### Networking ####



# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to

# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;

# interface names are normally preferred

;  interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0



# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the

# 'interfaces' option above to use this.

# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is

# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this

# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.

;  bind interfaces only = yes







#### Debugging/Accounting ####



# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine

# that connects

        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m



# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).

        max log size = 1000



# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following

# parameter to 'yes'.

#  syslog only = no



# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything

# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log

# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.

        syslog = 0



# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace

        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d





####### Authentication #######



# Server role. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible

# values are "standalone server", "member server", "classic primary

# domain controller", "classic backup domain controller", "active

# directory domain controller". 

#

# Most people will want "standalone sever" or "member server".

# Running as "active directory domain controller" will require first

# running "samba-tool domain provision" to wipe databases and create a

# new domain.

        server role = standalone server



# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what

# password database type you are using.  

;        passdb backend = tdbsam



        obey pam restrictions = yes



# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix

# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the

# passdb is changed.

        unix password sync = yes



# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following

# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for

# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).

        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

        passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .



# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes

# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in

# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.

        pam password change = yes



# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped

# to anonymous connections

        map to guest = bad user



########## Domains ###########



#

# The following settings only takes effect if 'server role = primary

# classic domain controller', 'server role = backup domain controller'

# or 'domain logons' is set 

#



# It specifies the location of the user's

# profile directory from the client point of view) The following

# required a [profiles] share to be setup on the samba server (see

# below)

  logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U

# Another common choice is storing the profile in the user's home directory

# (this is Samba's default)

#  logon path = \\%N\%U\profile



# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

# It specifies the location of a user's home directory (from the client

# point of view)

;  logon drive = H:

#  logon home = \\%N\%U



# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

# It specifies the script to run during logon. The script must be stored

# in the [netlogon] share

# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention

;  logon script = logon.cmd



# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR

# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix

# password; please adapt to your needs

; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u



# This allows machine accounts to be created on the domain controller via the 

# SAMR RPC pipe.  

# The following assumes a "machines" group exists on the system

; add machine script  = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u



# This allows Unix groups to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR

# RPC pipe.  

; add group script = /usr/sbin/addgroup --force-badname %g



############ Misc ############



# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration

# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name

# of the machine that is connecting

# for something else.)

# public shares, not just authenticated ones

        usershare allow guests = yes
