Recovering Offline Folder / Client Side Caching (CSC)

Hi,

My HDD died. I recovered my files from the dead HDD by
using it as a secondary drive and extracting almost all
the files and folders.

My problem is that I had offline folders enabled that I
need to recover these items back. After some
investigation, I found out that
offline line files and folders are kept in the
C:\windows\CSC folder. I
extracted this CSC folder from the dead HDD. However, they
seem to be
encrypted.

Following is the dir listing of my recovered CSC folder.

Can you please help me to recover these files back. All
the contents of
seem to be in the d1 - d8 folders, but they appear in a
format of
00000A01 - not recognisable as a one of my files. They
look encrypted
and I need them to be decrypted back to my normal form.

Can someone please help.

thanks heaps!

Your offline folders are actually stored in C:\documents and
Settings\%User%\NetHood, not in the CSC folder.

Hope that helps

I had a look and I see folders that refere to where I have
been. Inside one of those items, it contains a shortcut to
the network share and a desktop.ini file. The desktop.ini
file contains the following:

[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID2={0AFACED1-E828-11D1-9187-B532F1E9575D}
Flags=2


Can I use this somehow to retrive my files?
