    Offline Files (Barfing Piles)

    Ok.. here's the scene:

    I have a room set up with 36 XP machines running XP Pro. They are all connected to a Win2K server. each machine is connected to a share on the server wiht a mapped drive. each machine's "My documents" folder points to the same share. With this configured, every machines my docs folder is identical. This works great. However, I also have offline files configured on each machine.

    The machines will sync to the server on shutdown, but the mydocs isn't the ONLY think syncing... I can't seem to prevent syncing from OTHER folders. IS there a registry setting that enforces which folders to syncronize? I can go to the offline files settings and choose wich ones I want to syncronise but it does not save that setting when I uncheck locations.

    Help!
    Don't ask me... I just work here.

    Though not exactly what you're asking for, this may help you find it:

    Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
    In the left pane, locate the domain or organizational unit (OU) in which the policy you want to edit is applied.
    Right-click the domain or OU, and then click Properties.
    Click the Group Policy tab.
    Click the GPO, and then click Edit. A new window opens.
    In the left pane, expand the following items:
