I am trying to synchronize some of our laptop users My Documents folder to
teir machine but if I try to adjust the available disk space for the cached
files, it defaults back to 2gb every time.
Any way to fix this?

if your hardrive is formatted FAT32 ...2g is the max file size...

fix would be to convert to NTFS file system
 
The disks are formatted NTFS at 100gb.

And a minor correction to the previous reply - the limitation is 4GB in
FAT32. For a file *or* a partition, if I recall correctly.

I'm wondering whether this is controlled by group policy....are you on an AD
domain?

No, not exactly. A file in a FAT32 partition can be 4GB (minus a
couple of bytes, I think). A FAT32 partition can theoretically be 8 TB
in size, though there's no disk in existence that's anywhere near that
big. XP won't create a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB, but will
happily use larger FAT32 partitions.

That's exactly what I meant. <cough> I must have typed it out in my secret
invisible font, tho.

(I haven't used FAT in a million years)
