I have a windows 2000 laptop that does not have option to
make files available offline. The tab to make files
available offline in folder options, within control panel,
is not displayed. Any suggestions?

Is it 2K Server with Terminal Services installed? The Offline Files tab is
not available on a server that is running Windows 2000 Terminal Services.

Check the local policy (start > run > gpedit.msc)
There is a setting in Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Network > Offline Files > Prohibit user configuration of Offline Files

From the Explain tab:
""This setting removes the Offline Files tab from the Folder Options dialog
box.
It also removes the Settings item from the Offline Files context menu and
disables the Settings button on the Offline Files Status dialog box.
As a result, users cannot view or change the options on the Offline Files
tab or Offline Files dialog box.""
