This is part of my policy template (win95) in which I turn off roving of profiles.  Profiles are still used, but not roved.

KEYNAME Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
	POLICY !!EnableUserProfiles
		PART !!EnableUserProfiles CHECKBOX
			KEYNAME Setup\Network\Logon
			VALUENAME UserProfiles
		END PART
		PART !!DontRoveProfiles CHECKBOX
			KEYNAME Setup\Network\Logon
			VALUENAME UseHomeDirectory
			VALUEON NUMERIC 0
			VALUEOFF DELETE
		END PART
		PART !!DontCacheProfiles CHECKBOX
			KEYNAME Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache
			VALUENAME UseHomeDirectory
			VALUEON NUMERIC 1
			VALUEOFF DELETE
		END PART
	END POLICY

If profiles ARE used you should not NOT ROVE and NOT CACHE unless you don't want a permanant presence for that user.

Your will need to adjust the key names for winNT.

I haven't tried don't cache but got it from this list.  I use don't rove and it works.
