Set up your computer to use Offline Files

A full synchronization ensures that you have the most current versions of every network file that has been made available offline. A quick synchronization ensures that you have complete versions of all your offline files, though they may not necessarily be the most current versions.
By default, the Enable Offline Files check box is selected in Windows 2000 Professional but is cleared in Windows 2000 Server.
Even if your computer is configured to use Offline Files, you must still select the network files and folders that you want to make available offline.
To view a list of all of the network files that are available offline, on the Offline Files tab, click View Files.
