Prevent Uploading Folders to a Users Server Profile (Windows NT/2000/XP)
Category: Home > Network > Clients
When profiles are used and a user logs off from a Windows domain certain folders are uploaded to the central user profile on the server. This setting allows you to stop any time consuming or non-essential folders (e.g. Temporary Internet Files) from being transferred.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value called "ExcludeProfileDirs" and set it to equal the directory names to be excluded from the upload.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Note: The directory names should be entered relative to the root of the profile, and must be separated by semicolons.
