Roaming profiles filtering out Internet files, cookies, and favorites

I've set up Roaming Profiles and I'm doing some testing, I want to get my users converted over soon.  How do I filter out cookies and favorites.  I do not want these files being uploaded back to the server waisting space.  I've found NTUSER.ini under the user profile. The NTuser.ini exclusion list, it has a list of settings local setting ect. The local settings are not being saved to the network.  Where does this NTUSER.ini file come from?  However I do not know how to edit this file it does not save.  How do I keep cookies and favorites from being uploaded back to the server?

How would I add Cookies into HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs.  What would be ther registry setting?
You can't - cookies is not a variable that is included by Microsoft in the ExcludeDirs path.
All I could think of is writing a logoff script that would automtacially run and delete the contents of the cookies directory.
