Thanks. I did the registry edit method, works good. I wasn't sure if
these were the appropriate methods since articles list older versions of
products in "applies to". I guess they didn't feel like updating that
section to include ESX 3.x.

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:

above, and here 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.
