Roaming Profiles and lost data.

Hi,

Practically all my users use laptops, (we are a very mobile company) and
travel. To help recover from the inevitable stolen or damaged beyond repair
problems this brings with it, we use roaming profiles. This brings with it
three problems, which I'd hoped Microsoft would have resolved with Vista, but
haven't. Our problems are thus, whilst out of the office :

1. If you user, saves an e-mail attachement to anywhere (within the users
Documents folder) except on they desktop - it disappears when they next come
into the office and login.

2. If a user deletes icons/files either on his desktop or in any of the
documents folders, they're reappear when they next come into the office and
log onto the network.

3. If they rename a folder, and create a new folder using the old name,
create a new file in that folder, then return to the office and login,
whatthey get is a mess: The contents of the old folder re-appears, with the
new file in it, but the renamed copy of the old folder is lost.

Firstly has anyone experianced the same problems (we've experianced in both
XP and Vista).

Secondly, has anyone found a fix for with - wiht/ without using a third
party application.

Finally, Microsoft, please could you resolve this problem in Service pack 1
of Vista. It's a great function but if users have to remember a set of do's
and don't about what they can and cannot do with respect to files and folders
when traveliing - it may as well not be there, as it's just another headache
for IT.

Thanks in advance.
Dai
