Mozilla's user files are installed in C:\Documents and Settings\%CURRENTUSR%\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\%USRDIR%\. Mozilla keeps the user's Disk Cache Folder in a subdirectory called 'Cache'. This becomes a problem for WinNT/2K/XP users with roaming profiles, that are kept on a network server: When the user logs off the entire Mozilla disk cache is copied to the network server (!) By default Microsoft sets the roaming profile exclusion list as follows: "ExcludeProfileDirs"="Local Settings;Temporary Internet Files;History;Temp". See [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]. The Mozilla disk cache should probably be installed somewhere under the "Local Settings" directory, which was meant to be automatically excluded from the roaming user profiles, so that the cache is not copied to a network server when the user logs off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The Mozilla disk cache should probably be installed somewhere under the "Local Settings" directory, which was meant to be automatically excluded from the roaming user profiles, so that the cache is not copied to a network server when the user logs off. For example: C:\Documents and Settings\%CURRENTUSR%\Local Settings\Mozilla\%USRDIR%\Cache. WinNT/2K/XP registry, CURRENT_USER [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]. "ExcludeProfileDirs"="Local Settings;Temporary Internet Files;History;Temp"
