RE: Offline Folder Associations

Actualy for this problem got solved when I re-installed vista. I've disabled
offline folders. Such a great idea but too much of the complexity is
impossible to reach - like this issue, there is no soln. I've also found that
once I return the laptop to the network the folder is never detected as
online again until I restart windows. you can imagine how much of a pain that
is.

I had offline folders working against my main home vista PC with no trouble,
but with half of my data on the corporate network I've had to disable offline
folders and got back to using syncback, works flawlessly so far.
