I saw some issues with IE leaving userclass.dat hanging out there when using
redirected folders.  It is one of those things they fixed win Win2k3 sp1 but
the broke again in SP2.  I have some KB articles about it somewhere I will
look for.  Might help, might not.  It is the only thing I have dealt with
even remotely close to what you are seeing.  I never did fix it.  the
servers would baloon up with profiles.  username.domainname.001, .002, .003
etc.  they would just keep counting up and never delete.
