Offline files - removing obsolete synch item

[Gordon]

I use off-line files. In the Synchronizing dialog box is an item that no
longer exists - how do I remove this?

 

[Don Varnau]

Hi,
Try unchecking the favorite in the synchronize box, then clear the Temporary
Internet Files and check the "Delete offline content" when that box pops up.

Hope this helps,

up.

Thanks - when I go to delete I get two options:
"Delete only the temporary off-line versions" and
"Delete both the temporary off-line versions and the versions that are
always available off-line"
Which one should I choose?

Tried that, the "spurious" off-line folder is still in the Synch
box.....registry entry possibly?

Hi,
Check for a sub-key under this registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Webcheck\Store.1]

Export that key or export the entire registry or create a Restore point then
delete the sub-key for the spurious entry.

Also... useful (free) program:
RegSeeker from http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
The "Find" function is fast and convenient. I haven't used other features.
Note that *any* registry cleaner has the potential to cause damage.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Webcheck\Store.1]

there's no \DEFAULT\ option under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.......
There's no subkey (that I can see) in Webcheck\Store.1 for the spurrious
entry

The only subkey I have in there is this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Webcheck\Store.1\{BE105200-8D77-01C7-0000-000096863330}

Export that key or export the entire registry or create a Restore point
then
delete the sub-key for the spurious entry.

Sorry, that was a typo. My one offline favorite is listed as a sub-key under
Webcheck\Store.1

When you select {BE105200-8D77-01C7-0000-000096863330} (left click) what
name shows up in the right pane?

There are several:
Default
~SubsInfo
ActualSizekb
DesktopComponent
Name
RecurseFlags
URL

You may need to resize columns to see the Data column. Is the first entry in
the Data column "My Current Home Page" or something else?

It's "My Current Home Page"

Hi,

It's "My Current Home Page"

That's no help. ;-)

I'm down to one last idea... locate the Favorite for this site and delete
it?
