Actually, this is an old problem. Not limited to ESX 3.x.
The short answer is to not install the Shared Folders component when
installing VM Tools (You don't need it for ESX anyways).
The long answer is to edit the registry and remove hgfs from the
NetworkProvider order. The first article you mention gives instructions on
how to do it.

I have run into the problem where C:\documents and settings\<username>\local
settings\application data\vmware\hgfs.dat cannot roam out, thus the file
never gets deleted when the local cached files are purged. On next login,
an entirely new profile directory gets created, and it occurs over and over
again.
UHPClean 1.6d is not solving the problem. I've found the following so far:

is a corresponding MS KB article on how to do it,

Since nothing specifically mentions ESX 3.x, and everything I find is from
back in mid or late 2006, I was hoping those of you doing Citrix in ESX 3.x
right now could tell me the solution you used.
