Offline Files 2 GB Limit

[NC Beach Bum]

I am working a couple of users who have 4 GB to 6 GB network files that they
want in their Offline File Cache so they can work away from the office. I
know this 2 GB limit is fixed in Vista but they don't want to move to Vista.
Is there another way to get around this 2 GB file limit in Win XP? Is
there a KB document available on this as I can not find one.

Thanks for the assistance!

"Temporary caching occurs when a client accesses a share that is marked
for automatic caching. These files are cached on use. However, the
client-side cache may temporarily remove these files if there is not
sufficient space in the cache.

This limitation does not apply to manually-cached files. Manual caching
occurs when you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer, and
then you click Make Available Offline."
