There is a way, I have done it, but cannot remember what I did. Someone please help before this drives me out the window!
XP Pro, w/SP2, when you change the destination folder of "My Documents" to a mapped network drive, it automatically does a synchronize at log off.
How do you stop it?
And no, it is not in accessories-synchronize. This shows you what is being synchronized, but does not remove the feature to where it stops and removes the arrows on the "My Documents" folder.

- Open Windows Explorer
- Click Tools
- Folder Options
- Offline Files tab

On that tab you'll find the settings to enable/disable synch at logon, logoff, or altogether. If they are greyed out they may be set through a policy.

If you are using SBS 2003 it is turned on by default. You can create a batch file to call another which contains the user names home directories.EG nocache.bat
@echo off
net share %1 /cache:none

EG: nocachusers.bat
@echo off
call c:\nocache.bat user$
