Roaming Profile Directories are not deleted

We've setup our terminal servers to delete the local copy of the
user's profiles (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274152/en-us)
when they log off.

Upon logoff, all the directories and files are deleted with the
exception of:
C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\internet
explorer

We've also noticed this happens only when the user has 2 or more quick
launch icons in their quick launch bar (C:\documents and settings
\username\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch).

Has anyone else seen this? If so, did you find a fix?

Thanks.
 
Re: Roaming Profile Directories are not deleted

The system when deleting the roaming profile, recursively deletes the
folder. If it does not have permission to delete a file, it will even take
ownership, change permission and delete it. But it is a best attempt effort
and might fail if some application locked a file, failed to take ownership,
etc.

Can you please provide more information about exactly what icons you have in
your quick launch?

Re: Roaming Profile Directories are not deleted

Hi -
In the Quick Launch Bar, we usually just have the various Office
icons (Outlook, Word, Excel, PPT), IE, an explorer icon and the 'show
desktop' icon.
