[PROBLEM] Samba setup.....Idiot guide required??

[TheOldPresbyope]

Asked question on Microsoft Answers
"I have 3 network drives.....Win11 can only write to one of them...other two are 'protected'....???"
......also described how the Pi is networked....including ref. to Samba connection

Got this reply :

"I say that in the SMB config line it is configured this way:

path = / shared_folder
comment = File Server
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

Independent Advisor - Community "

.....I don't think that I've used the smb config line yet....or have I ????

All the music SMB shares published by moOde are set "read only = no" and "guest ok = yes". They're all set "browseable", ..

According to the current SAMBA documentation

• "read-only = no" means the same as setting them as "writable = yes"
  
• The older "public" option was vague and is now a synonym for "guest ok"
  

Sadly, then, the reply you got is correct but irrelevant. 

Had the respondent been more astute, they might have asked why the three shares were seen differently.

The question at hand remains, how do you make Win10 (or whatever release you have) forget previous used credentials for SMB shares. So far, nothing I've found in Internet searches has correctly answered that question, although there's a lot of seemingly authoritative answers that don't seem to have worked for the person who asked the question. Maybe you'll have better luck.
