Long story short, When a user deletes or moves a file and logs off and back on again. The files return to there original locations.
What does that have to do with Roaming Profiles? Are you using Roaming Profiles? Where are the files being stored?

I am using Roaming Profiles (in the subject of the thread). The files are being stored on the Domain Controller. It is also set up to use the temporary profiles on the laptops since the users are allowed to take the machines home.
Is there a way to have the user prompted everytime they log on to which version of the profile they want to have saved? I am thinking that might solve the problem.

Maybe I should have been more specific in my question. Are the files stored in the Roaming Profile folder? If so, that's probably the cause.

They are stored in "C:\users\profiles" on the Domain Controller.
If that is the problem how do I fix it? I want the files to still be backed up using the profiles.

Any other help on this would be very grateful. Is there a way to prompt the user which version of the profile they want to save to the server? I have seen that prompt sometimes but I don't know how I made that happen.

Our company got rid of roaming profiles some time ago - they caused a lot of headaches for us.
Someone suggested we use desktop authority.
It does redirects for all users settings like desktop, my documents, cookies, etc to the users home directory eliminating the need for roaming profiles.Hope this helps!

Thank you for that. I know we use roaming profiles because we use Citrix and it works so well with it. Do you know if Desktop Authority work with Citrix?
I also found another solution on another site.
"Go the server that the profile is stored on and check the perm's. You should see the username@domain.com and system listed and both should have full access. Now, if your logged in as admin or your username add your user name and/or admin to the security and give them full access. Now when you hit ok you will have access to expand the profile but you will quickly see that you will not be able to open anything in the profile including directorys. All I did was make admin take over ownership on the profile and then I was able to browse the profile. After that I had my user delete something from her desktop and had her logoff and log back on and she was golden." (Craig Stewart, http://windowsitpro.com/article/art...
I am still in the process of testing for a few days. I will keep this thread updated.
