XP delete roaming profiles on exit as well (or as badly) as W2k.
You need to install the "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service".


Expert from the README file:

WHAT IS UPHCLEAN
UPHClean is a service that once and for all gets rid of problems with user profile not unloading.

We are using it with roaming profiles, mixed folders redirection imposed by an adequate NTCONFIG.POL
( we leave desktop in the profile and redirect  almost everything else).
W2k and XP profiles coexist rather well, NT don't.
