I have had some problems with this. One problem is caused by windows
7. I mean if I install an application and it needs to be elevated (UAC
prompt) and this elevation puts files in my profile that I do not have
permissions on in windows 7, windows pops up a box saying that my
profile was not fully synchronized. The interesting thing is it is
complaining about C: not my network side of the equation..

I have tried to eliminate this by adding excluded folders in

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs

I needed to do that anyways because my profile had in 4 days grown to
over 8GB (and thousands of files) causing windows to take 5 to 10
minutes to logon/logoff over a gigabit network.
