    What's so difficult in changing the icon on Windows?

  • i know that it shows as a drive when mounting but i want it to show as a drive before i mount it, meaning it should show as a drive, not a computer in windows network centre

    Can not be done. unless you find the icon in system32 and change it.

    your guide makes it advertise as a folder not a drive

    OMV or even a Windows server can't advertise a samba share as a drive. You can mount a samba share as a drive letter on your Windows client though but OMV can't help with that. Just google "map network drive".

    okay but when i click onto the server it shows the folders but i want them to be shown as drives. i am sure this is possible as ive done it before with a manual samba nas

    You mean you just want the icon for the samba share to look like a drive rather than a folder? I've run samba on Linux for 15+ years and I don't know this would be accomplished since the config is just looking a path on the Linux system. But I also didn't care what the icon looks like. Did you look at the OMV generated smb.conf to see what was different than when you manually configured samba?

    So you want a OMV share foldrer to mount as a drive and than mount drives in this drive?..... OMV so folders in the folder? within a folder for a folder but shown as a drive. So a folder in a folder than pass by a folder to show in a folder as a folder something like this?
