Move folders out of Windows Profile

I am in an environment where the default Windows profile is used to build the user profile every time they login. The systems are frozen to prevent any changes. We need to move the Autodesk folders out of the user profile folder so they don't load with the profile every time (the login is way too long). Is there a guide to the locations in Explorer and the Registry so we can successfully accomplish this? We were able to change the locations in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk, C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Autodesk and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk, but when some of the Autodesk products are opened they go through configuring again. Are there any other Registry locations that point to User Profile folders?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hard  one to implement, but you can try.

 

The profile behaviour is documented here

There are some scripts which copies the profile related items manually, (mainly for Map 3d on Citrix)

you can adapt this for your Autocad installation
