Still can't turn off roaming profiles

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

I think you all are talking about two different things. Disabling roaming
profiles is very different from just deleting the local caches of them
from workstations. The oft-mentioned DeleteRoamingCache hack only
instructs NT workstations to delete users' cached profiles, NOT to avoid
using the roaming profile system altogether.
