Documents and Settings folder littered with *.001 profiles on Citrix Server

Symptom:

You have a Citrix Presentation Server (XenApp 4.5) running on VMware (virtual server) and you notice that the Documents and Settings folder is piling up with profiles names such as: username.001, username.002, username.003 etc...

Background:

VMware's shared folders feature creates a hgfs.dat file and Terminal Services writes this file back to the roaming profile server. For extended information as well as the fix go here.

Resolution:

Remove the value hgfs from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\ProviderOrder
