Can't make offline files show up!
I am trying to sych data directory on a desktop with a
laptop across a lan. XP pro on the desktop and XP home on the laptop. I enabled offline files on both machines by deselecting "fast user switching" in User Accounts in control panel. Then I went to My computer/tools/folder options/ offline files and made sure the enable offline files was selected. I mapped the drive from the laptop to the desktop . then when I select sychronization manager, it should show all the shared files so I can select which ones I want it to synch. The only thing there is My Current Home Page. Plus when I choose a directory or a file in Windows Explorer and then either right click or choose the file menu, I should see "Make Available Offline" but it does not show up anywhere. Of course I rebooted after making all the changes and it should work but I am stumped. Please help, what detail am I missing? thanks giz |

Can't make offline files show up!
Sorry, I don't know about this particular problem, but when I (one-time)
had trouble with my offline file sync process, I did what was described at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;230738 and the problem was resolved. Hope this is useful to you. Let us know. rms giz wrote: I am trying to sych data directory on a desktop with a laptop across a lan. XP pro on the desktop and XP home on the laptop.
