Yep, saw that, must've been something else that grew the profile beyond
usability.  I didn't take the time to figure it out, I just turned it off.
It really wasn't a necessity for our office. (I was in the early stages of
testing roaming profiles just after I put in my W2K AD controller.)

I have no problem with the concept of separate temp folders actually, I do
not like the obfuscation tricks it does with explorer though -- it'd be
better to handle it with permissions.
