I know that you can configure a GPO to delete cached copies of roaming profiles.

[ActiveDir] large profiles
When several users share the same machine, it doesn't take long for the Docs Settings directory to eat up too much space on the drive. Is there a setting that will allow their profiles to be removed from the local machine at logoff (other than mandatory profiles)?

RE: [ActiveDir] user profiles
For the first time it would be standard, but after their first logon, they could make changes as needed. (currently each user has their own, but it needs to be cleaned up) Do you want them each to get their 'own' profile (that they can change and those changes would be there the next time they log on) or is it a 'standard' profile that needs to be the same for every user, every time they log on?

Took me a while, but here it is: User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Browser menus/File menu: Disable closing the browser and Explorer windows You could prevent users from logging on in the first place - this will ensure they can't close any window.
