And let me add, for this one particular computer, offline files tab was there, and it as enabled. I will check the others, this could be a start.

Open windows Explorer Select tools Choose Folder Options Select the Offline Files tab Check to see if "Enable Offline Files" is checked or not.

In the offline files section, on the file exclusion list, I just have *.dbf files excluded. When I run a GPO modeling wizard on some users, in the settings window, the offline files part of the GPO does not show, but the Folder Redirection settings do show. (Note, all of these settings are in the same GPO) I am wondering if it could be a replication issue. i.e, these people were just put on the new policy. I had them run gpupdate /force, to get the folder redirection part to kick in, and the entire GPO is set to wait for network at startup for Group Policy Thanks *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
