Group Policy attribute that controls roaming profile

[Guest]

Is there a specific Group Policy attribute that controls (enable/disable) roaming profiles? I created a OU and setup the users of the OU to have roaming profiles with their profiles directory stored on a central server. When user logs on the appropriate directory is created, however it isn't populated with any of the folders you expect to see under a "Documents and Settings", My Documents, Application Data, etc. If I check "Block Policy Inheritance", the directory is created correctly for the users
I looked at the domain level policy with the using Edit on the Policy, but I did'nt find an attribute to control it. Have I overlooked something?

Please refer to the KB article 315415 - HOW TO: Prevent Folders from
Roaming with a Profile in Windows 2000
(link below);

This article describes the way to prevent folders from roaming. Since you
have mentioned you don't see the folders under "...Documents and Folders"
there may be a possibility they being prevented at the higher level in GP
heirarchy. Reading this article will make your job easier by having you
look at specific GP setting.
