I don't have the tab on Folder Optiond for "Offline
Files" as described in help, technet, etc.
Read everything I can find on using offline files and
can't seem to find an answer. Suspect it is a service not
installed but not sure which.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Chuck,
What exactly do you want to do but can't?
I assume by offline files you are trying to make files available from a
network share elsewhere on your LAN?
Right-clicking on a network drive will offer "make available offline"
option.
This functionality is certainly all there in XP.....extract from XP help
below:
To make a file or folder available to you offline
1.. Open My Computer.
2.. Double-click a network drive to view its contents.
3.. Click the shared network file or folder that you want to make
available offline.
4.. On the File menu, click Make Available Offline.
Important
a.. Make Available Offline will appear on the File menu only if you set
up your computer to use offline files. For more information, click Related
Topics.
Notes
a.. To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
b.. If My Computer does not contain links to any network drives, you need
to assign a drive letter to a shared network resource. For more information,
click Related Topics.
c.. To view a list of all of the shared network files that are available
offline, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On the Offline Files tab,
click View Files.
d.. If all of the files in a shared folder are made available offline, any
files placed in that folder will automatically be made available offline the
next time you synchronize your computer with the network. The network
administrator determines which files are available offline.
e.. You can make a shortcut to a file available offline. However, if you
make a shortcut to a folder available offline, the contents of the folder
will not be available offline.
f.. To make a network file or folder unavailable offline, right-click the
item, and click Make Available Offline again to clear the check mark.
