Samba - Controlling the XP Profile


When using roaming profiles, is it possible to control what is copied back up to the Samba PDC from XP?

For example, can i stop folders like Cookies, Temporary internet files and the like copying back there appears to be SOOO much crud which copied back and forward, which i probably don't need, stuff like the following folders

Recent
SendTo
Templates
Cookies
Favorites
Temp Internet Files

I'd like these files to not be copied back and forward

And while i'm at it, what about on login redirect My Documents to the users Home folder?
