Prevent Uploading Folders to a Users Server Profile

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.


Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Name: ExcludeProfileDirs
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: Directories to Exclude


Note: The directory names should be entered relative to the root of the profile, and must be separated by semicolons.
