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: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&exte 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.
