The next time, please say
the button shown on the screenshot does not exist on Win7 andinstead of
the share permission for Authenticated User is incorrect.
the entire page seems wrong.
It's very frustrating if you spend 8 hours writing such an
instruction and get this kind of feedback. (Yes, that's the amount of
time I need for a doc of this size and complexity including testing.)

To me they seem screenshots of a more recent Windows version,

It's Windows 10. When I rewrite or update pages with Win7/8
screenshots, I replace them with ones from the latest Windows client
version. I think it makes more sense than using screenshots from
older version.
Maybe the wiki needs to be extended with pages for each
OS version ...
We should really not have individual pages for each OS version. We
still have duplicated content in the Wiki and I do my best to get rid
of it. Duplicate content is very hard to maintain and often
inconsistent. Often it is updated only on one place. We had a lot of
such cases in our documentation.
If steps or procedures differ in Windows versions, we should of
course mention the differences. However, not for versions, MS no
longer supports, such as WinXP. Mostly it's enough to add just one
sentence to make clear what's different. That's better than having instructions for each OS.

I just mentioned this because it's not the first time I read such
comments. This really frustrates me, makes me thinking that I'm wasting
a lot of my spare time, and often keeps me away from writing new content
for a while.

I was the one suggesting the Windows 7 info.
Please do not take these suggestions as a token of ingratitude,
they were a mere expression of the desire for completeness.
In fact, I was able to find the correct Windows 7 settings
by looking at the Windows 10 info.
Forgive me to interject a question relating to the page. It is not clear if User_Home_Folders can be set for a Samba Standalone. Specifically how
to "Assign a user to a Home Folder" in a standalone sever.
There is a mention how to do that from AD DC, NT-4 style and from
within Samba AD DC via ldbedit. Nothing about standalone. Is it
possible at all?
