How to configure your computer to use offline files.

I'v tried setting up use offline line files via group polocies. I am getting some strange results.

Sometimes it seems to work and another time it will say that certain files cannot be made ready for use offline. Sometimes it looks like it is synchronising other users files onto my laptop.

I'm sure it is my set-up rather than any other problems.

What would be handy is if you could perhaps find me a nice example of a basic set-up like mine this would be most helpful.

Best regards

Graham
