Default Shares with blanks in the name with samba



I want to share using a samba an ntfs partition that I have mounted in
/mnt/windows. If I put as a share /mnt/windows, it works fine and the
clients can access it, but If I want as a share a folder inside the
partition, for instance "/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings", I
actually use "/mnt/windows/Documents\ and\ Settings" because is the
path that I can use in the Samba server to access that directory,
there is an error when trying to access from teh client, saying
BAD_NETWORK_NAME, so it seems that samba can have shares with blanks
in the name.

Is there any way to make samba able to share directories with blanks
in the name ?

Thanks !

Use the question mark to fill in the blank space.
