When logon, files get created in homedir on network

[Guest JTG]

I can't find where this is taking place. When I logon to my terminal server,

files get copied to the home directory of the users (set on a network share.)

It only happens when logging on to the TS and no other servers or

workstations. Roaming profiles are not setup and I cannot find anything in

the startup group or the run key in the reg. I cannot find where to make

this stop. Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

what files?

Junk files.

 

It creates a file called WIND and a WINDOWS folder. Inside the windows

folder it puts win.ini, openrda.ini, inifile.upd, hpbafd.ini, and also a

folder named system. Inside there are no files. It seems to be from an

installation when in install mode. If I delete the files and folders they

get recreated but some users don't get all the files. Some just get the

folders etc. One user gets a %userprofile%\My docs\PDF file etc structure

created for a PDF creator that we use.

There aren't junk files, this is how Terminal Services supports

multi-user functionality for applications that use ini files.

Terminal Services writes user-specific application files, such as

..ini files, and by default refers any application seeking the

Windows system directory to the user’s home directory.

 

I would *not* delete the \windows subdirectory in the home folder,

I would worry about the users who don't have one.

OK. Thanks for the info. I don't think any of my apps use those files. I

think they accidentally got touched during install mode by me and not an

install. Do you know where those settings would be or where it does the copy

from? I'd at least like to look just so I know. I'll check those links you

provided (thanks for that) to understand a little better. Thanks again for

the info.

Re: When logon, files get created in homedir on network

 

The openrda.ini file seems to indicate that you run some sort of

OpenAccess software:

http://www.openaccesssoftware.com/WebHelp55/Distribution_Guide/OPEN

RDA_INI1.htm

 

The hpbafd.ini file seems to be created by some HP printer drivers

when a user print a document.

 

KB186498 explans in detail which settings are cached in the

registry during installation, and how the system uses the shadow

area of the registry to create user-specific settings.
