Hello there.

I found that under the System Properties -> User Profiles, the user's
profiles size is increase day by day from hundred KB to hundred thousand KB
and the system is look like slowly and slowly. Anyway I can decrease the
size of the user profiles.
 
Common cause of that "bloat" is temporary internet files from crusing the
net which you can delete/restrict. This will especially slow things down if
they use a roaming profile since it has to download all of that info for the
profile to load.

If they're connected to the network and they login through a profile, here's
what I've done:

Erase their temp dir each time they boot up:

rd /s /q %temp%
md %temp%

I've come across some incredibly huge temp directories.

Next, you want to restrict the size of the user's Temporary Internet File.
I set it down from about 1.1GB to 5MB. That's not a typo. I push out the
values via registry settings each time they boot up.
