Windows roaming profile size issue

Regarding windows roaming profile usually the size shall be 25 MB to 30 MB. Once it grows due to synchronization process, logon and logoff takes longer times.

To manage the profile size few things can be implemented.

1. By default exclude folders "Temporary Internet Files" and "Temp".
For temporary internet files one should change the path of temporary internet folder to local drive. Usually this is large.

2. Other folders like "My Documents" and "Start menu" can be excluded from synchronization.
