Please refer to the KB article 315415 - HOW TO: Prevent Folders from
Roaming with a Profile in Windows 2000
(link below);

This article describes the way to prevent folders from roaming. Since you
have mentioned you don't see the folders under "...Documents and Folders"
there may be a possibility they being prevented at the higher level in GP
heirarchy. Reading this article will make your job easier by having you
look at specific GP setting.

>Is there a specific Group Policy attribute that controls (enable/disable)
roaming profiles? I created a OU and setup the users of the OU to have
roaming profiles with their profiles directory stored on a central server.
When user logs on the appropriate directory is created, however it isn't
populated with any of the folders you expect to see under a "Documents and
Settings", My Documents, Application Data, etc. If I check "Block Policy
Inheritance", the directory is created correctly for the users.
I looked at the domain level policy with the using Edit on the Policy, but
I did'nt find an attribute to control it. Have I overlooked something?
