Creating a new Share in Samba
On my windows 2000 system, after the share "test storage space" has been created, it is placed in My network places, Computers near me, Internal. When i open the folder i get all of the contents of "/home". Can anyone tell how to get the junk of out this folder because it is supposed to be empty. I'm pretty much retarded when it comes to samba so any information would be INCREDIBLY helpful.

Change this line:
[Test Storage Folder]
comment = password protected file sharing with user accounts
inherit acls = Yes
path = %H <------------------------------HERE
read only = No
This makes the path to your share the /home directory for the user you connect as. Set it to the directory you want to share:
path = /path/to/shared/dir
