    Offline files location and how to change it

    I have a new laptop runnung Vista with twin hard disks. I want to a: clean up
    my c drive and b: reclaim the space used by offline files, and tell Vista to
    store the offline (sync) files on the second hard disk. I am trying to sync
    my music library and need to move the synced copy to the largest partition in
    the laptop

    Thank you, it worked. What a terribly long winded way to make the change
    though, I think an addition to the offline files applet in Control Panel or
    the sync manager is called for.
    Thanks!

    Why not just telling where to find these files? I am able to move files by
    myself... I dont have to call a mechanic to move my car either...
