Redirect ProjectAssemblies folder

Hi experts,

Would appreciate your help with the following problem:

We use Visual C# .NET, and most of the time when we open or compile a project, .NET sticks some temporary files (the project's DLL, and a ".pdb" (Program Debug Database) file) in to the following location in the user's directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\[[ProfileName]]\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\ProjectAssemblies

This is becoming a problem because our profile sizes are limited to 30MB, and quite often this pushes our profile sizes above this limit meaning we can't log off until the files are manually removed the end of each day.  Is there any way this folder can be redirected to a different location outside the user's profile?

Many thanks!

Dan

Thanks mrichmon,  I set the project to compile in Release mode and it doesn't create those files now!
