Offline files and new subfolders help please

[Richy]

Hi all!
I have a laptop and a desktop, and use the offline file
feature to sync data which i edit on both machines....

The offline file feature is enabled on the laptop....

If, when the computers are not connected, I make a new
subfolder, under a folder that is available offline on the
laptop; it is not synced onto the laptop version upon
connection.

If the new subfolder is made on the laptop when in offline
mode however, it is added to the sync and copied to the
desktop when syncing is run.

Please help! Thanks, Richard

Aha! Found the solution here, using the mmc console!

Have to read up in the mmc

Here is the solution if the link doesnt work....

Advanced Windows XP administrators who want to fine-tune
Offline Folders can do so by firing up the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC, Start-Run-mmc), and loading the
Group Policy stand-alone snap-in. Click OK to accept all
the defaults such as keeping the Local Computer Policy
name, until you see the Console Root window.

Drill down in the Local Computer Policy tree: Computer
Configuration-Administrative Templates-Network, and select
Offline Files. In the right-hand side pane, you will find a
plethora of options relating to Offline Files, including
all the above-mentioned ones (see FIGURE 2).

The more useful ones include Sub­folders always available
offline, which can be used to exclude subfolders from
syn­chronisation, and Configure slow link speed, which
tells Offline Files the speed threshold at which a network
connection is deemed to be slow. The default value is
64Kbps, but you might want to increase this value to have
Offline Files automatically adjust its behaviour to prevent
excessive synchronisations traffic that might otherwise
swamp the link.
