Hey Edwin...
If you don't roam it, it will still use the local one, not go away. From
the way i understand it.
This is from the GPO...
Lets you add to the list of folders excluded from the user's roaming
profile.
This setting lets you exclude folders that are normally included in the
user's profile. As a result, these folders do not need to be stored by the
network server on which the profile resides and do not follow users to
other computers.
By default, the History, Local Settings, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files
folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile.
If you enable this setting, you can exclude additional folders.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, only the default
folders are excluded.
Note: You cannot use this setting to include the default folders in a
roaming user profile.
John

Hmmmm....in addition to my previous question about the Quick Launch bar, I
am not able to delete any shortcuts that I place there. It is weird how I
can add a new shortcut to the Quick Launch bar but I cannot remove it.
Also, the new shortcuts ask me to DL the file just like the default icons.
When checking the properties of the shortcut on the Quick Lauch, the path
shows the UNC path to the roaming profile directory which is the exact same
as when checking the properties for the shortcut on the start menu.
Okay. So now I see where John was going with the "buggy" Quick Launch bar,
but I don't believe that the end users will appreciate it going away as was
suggested.

Hey Edwin...
Without looking at it, and i can't really test here...I have to assume it's
the path somehow. Would be odd for them to lose the file association, but
not impossible...heheheheh
Perhaps it's looking to the server for the program, which doesn't exist
there?

John, I will take your response with great consideration. I appreciate
your
response.
But I would still like to know why it is that the Quick Launch bar will
prompt you to open a default standard shortcut such as the IE or Windows
Media Icon. Also, now that I have installed MS Office, I get the same
prompt now that the Outlook shortcut was added.
What can I do to prevent this from happening when using a roaming profile?
Thanks,
Edwin

Hey Edwin....We haven't been using roaming profiles here, but what i can
tell you is that the quick launch is in the Application Data directory. We
experminted with redirecting it here so the quicklaunch would "follow"
users around, but ran into many problems with it. Lots of slowness in
office as it wanted to write temp files up to the server, etc.
You can exclude directories from roaming with a GPO, and this is one i
would strongly suggest you consider.

I am trying to use roaming profiles on a Win2K3 domain with XP Professional
as client. Roaming profiles seem to be working great except that when you
click on the Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer icon, you get a
prompt asking if you want to open this file. This is similar to trying to
download an executable via a web site when you get a warning about its
potential contents.
What can I do to get rid of this?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Edwin
