My "local settings" folder is copied to the roaming profile

[Rearview]

I inherited some of my user accoutns when I started working here (they were set up by a prior admin). I have many accounts that use roaming profiles (Server 2003 Active Directory). I have a couple dozen users that were created before I got here, and their roaming profiles all have the "local settings" folder as part of them. This folder gets very large because of the temp folder and the IE history. This is not a problem for most of my users (including any that have been created since I started working here).

How can I make these profiles that do contain the "local settings" folder stop copying it from the local workstations? Any help is appreciated.

Will editing the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

while the user is logged off to have this information:

"ExcludeProfileDirs" =
"Local Settings;Temporary Internet Files;History;Temp"

Do the trick? Anyone know? FYI, on the afected users, the key contains:

"Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

By default the Local Settings folder should not roam with the profile.
Non-roaming folders can be configured using a group policy.
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Exclude directories in roaming profile

I understand that my "Local Settings" folder should not be roaming, but some of mine are (this was my question...). I cannot find any information (I'd already seen what you posted) that says why it would roam, and how to make it stop roaming again. Everyting just says "by default, the following folders do not roam with the profile:"

That's not very helpful when mine are roaming.
