This policy setting affects both local and roaming profiles. If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, the system does not limit the size of user profiles. Note: In operating systems earlier than Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows will not allow users to log off until the profile size has been reduced to within the allowable limit.
In Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows will not block users from logging off. Instead, if the user has a roaming user profile, Windows will not synchronize the user's profile with the roaming profile server if the maximum profile size limit specified here is exceeded.

I have used Windows since Windows 3. I how ever use my systems until they drop and then replace the parts myself. My profile was GB thanks to an Icloud backup made no difference on my machine but its running an SSD and has 32gb ram so not a potato of a machine.
Go to a mechanical drive like back when and yeah this would be painful especially with something like 8gb ram. Over time yes registry can get excessive entries but again modern machines likely wont impact them.
My processor is a k and my machine has not been rebuilt in years. Click here to cancel reply. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. Subscribe without commenting E-Mail:.

Just redirect their desktop and setup homedir so their my documents are always stored on the file server. Romaing profiles and I had a fight many years ago and i never got back together with her!
She can be nasty if not treated with some love haha Anyway why do you want to use Roaming profiles? Set quotas on the Home directory and the redirection of the desktop share and you should be good. We do redirected roaming profiles here and there isn't much that is carried on the servers anymore. Sorry I cannot answer your question directly, but it really depends on your environment.
There are polices under profile management that help lock down the profile. Those are the polices I'd focus on, but which ones to use and how to apply them is more dependent on your needs and what you can allow in and out of the profile.
A lot of trial and error will assist with this. Depending on how into slimming down their profiles you want to go. Asked 10 years, 10 months ago. Active 4 years, 1 month ago. Viewed 45k times. Aren't both the Desktop and My Documents part of your profile? Do you have any other tips for reducing the size of the Windows profile? Improve this question. They are both part of your profile, yes, so that seems rather nonsensical.
Perhaps this was referring to an earlier version of Windows, or perhaps after moving My Documents to a common location outside your profile, or perhaps simply to moving documents out of both your Desktop, and My Documents. To add to Jeremy's comment, you can learn about moving "My Documents" location here: support.
Another way to reduce your profile is to Not use the Documents folder, just create folder s on the C drive, name them anything you want besides Documents or My Documents, then store all your files in there. I don't store anything in the default Documents folder, I have never used it. Jeremy: Not the same as "My Documents", but Windows accounts can have a separate "home directory", usually a network share, to which the system automatically connects; one might have a small roaming profile and keep all files on a network server.
In many organizations, My Documents is redirected to a network share, while the Desktop is still part of a roaming profile. So moving files from the Desktop my My Documents can reduce the size of a roaming profile.
