Strange, the filter isn't working too well.  I have a desktop.ini file in 
my home user volume root and Explorer picks it up just fine.  I will try it 
though.

Btw,  I can't say I'm too happy about the certificates.  This blows my 
AFSLogonShell hack out of the water.  Time to create my own provider 
dll.  Except with my own, there's no way for me to get a hold of the 
SMBName if in high security mode.  Ah well, win some, lose some.  Back to 
the drawing board.
