[THIN] Help from those doing PS4.0 app servers in ESX 3.x

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:

rnalId=1317 - References turning off VMtools shared folders

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&exte
rnalId=1135 - references disabling roaming for the entire folder above,
and here is a corresponding MS KB article on how to do it,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;188692

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.
