I've experienced that Desktop can as well get big enough to become a
pain to shuffle around every time people login/logout.

I wonder which programs use AppData?

I write:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Cache"="%SystemDrive%\TEMP\%USERNAME%.cache"
"Desktop"="%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.nt\Desktop"
In order to promote it to every user's hive, I put this into the policy:
CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Desktop"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"
POLICY "Desktop Location [Check me!]"
KEYNAME
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
PART "Idea is to detach Desktop from Profile..." TEXT
END PART
PART "Enter Desktop Location" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "Desktop"
DEFAULT "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.nt\Desktop"
REQUIRED
#if VERSION >= 2
EXPANDABLETEXT
#endif
END PART
END POLICY ; Desktop Location [Check me!]
END CATEGORY ; Desktop
CATEGORY "Internet Explorer"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"
POLICY "Cache Size Limit [Check me!]"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Content"
PART "Infamous IE Cache Size Limit can be set MB-vise now:-)"
TEXT
END PART
PART "Enter Cache Size Limit" NUMERIC
VALUENAME "CacheLimit"
REQUIRED
DEFAULT "5120"
MAX 1048576
SPIN 1024
END PART
END POLICY ; Cache Size Limit [Check me!]
POLICY "Cache Location [Check me!]"
KEYNAME
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
PART "Idea is (again) to detach IE cache from profile..." TEXT
END PART
PART "Enter Cache Location" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "Cache"
DEFAULT "%SystemDrive%\TEMP\%USERNAME%.cache"
REQUIRED
#if VERSION >= 2
EXPANDABLETEXT
#endif
END PART
END POLICY ; Cache Location [Check me!]
END CATEGORY ; Internet Explorer
[STRINGS]
Cheers. Andy.
