You could setup the Application Compatibility drive (Which links back to the
user's locally cached profile). In the .ini file you can select the path as
X:\Local Settings\Temp\ (Local settings is generally excluded from the
roaming profile). If for some reason you can't do that, then I would point
it to a directory in the user's home drive and not the profile.

Subject: [THIN] Using roaming profile point for temp files
Someone tell me if this is a "no no".
One of my applications requires a unique temp path for every user who uses
it. The INI file that resides in the \windows directory for the profile
cannot take variables like %username% so I have to statically asign the temp
path for each user. To not have to create and maintain a file structure for
all the users on Citrix, my thought is to point the INI to the root of the
users roaming profile point out on the network (ex:
p:\servers\profiles\jdoe\).
The program is extremely good about cleaning up after itself. I can't say
I've ever seen it leave temp files in the specified tempory directory. Am I
going to run into some kind of profile load/unload problem if I do it this
way?
Or, do I just keep it safe and point it to the temp path under their profile
on the local server (c:\documents and settings\jdoe\local settings\temp)
