Offline files problem with mapped drives

[Jon Street]

I don't know if anyone else has come across this problem
(I hope they have), this is the situation...

Users running windows XP have their My Documents
redirected to a file server location called \\filesrv2
\users$\%username%.

They also have a mapped drive setup to point to \\filesrv2
\public.

When dialing into the network, they go into the public
drive, but it is shown as empty. I think it is to do with
windows associating the server filesrv2 with having an
offline copy, and the only wasy I have found round it is
to click on the little computer icon (bottom right) and
either sync, or work online without synching to get it to
work.

I there a way of separating the two locations so that
only the My Docs is associated with offline files.

i hope this all makes sense.

Hi - I replied in m.p.windowsxp.network_web. Please don't multipost - if you
need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting
a single message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with
commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks
