hi eve,

>>the folders causing trouble appdata\roaming\microsoft\protect , .\systemcertificates

in fact, default behavior when redirect appdata\roaming via folder redirection. when redirect appdata\roaming folder (application data), explicitly not redirect following folders target location:

- appdata\roaming\microsoft\credentials

- appdata\roaming\microsoft\crypto

- appdata\roaming\microsoft\protect

- appdata\roaming\microsoft\system certificates

regarding point, following blog can referred more information.
