GP and local machine Documents and Settings

[daenerys]

In our computer labs we are running Windows XP, and the
servers run Windows 2000, with SP3.

Is there a way to prevent the creation of user directories
under Documents and Settings on the local machine?

I have used Folder redirection for the directories
available under that policy setting. But I would prefer
that the user directory never gets created at all on the
local machine.

All users have roaming profiles. All users have a Home
directory that is on the network. Under the Home
directory is a Profile directory.

Thanks for any help!

There isn't a way to keep the directories from being created for the users
but you can change the location of where the user folders are stored by
editing the registry. The article below explains how.
