Offline Files Folder Encrypted Files

[Guest NC Beach Bum]

I have an Win XP Pro user who uses network offline files. The files will

not synchronize properly and I have setup and removed the offline files

several times. When I checked her offline files it appears that the changed

files are ENCRYPTED but I don't have offline files encryption turned on and I

checked the files/offline files folder setup check mark for Encryption and

the local group policy object and the global group policy object.

 

Do you have an idea to help me?!? I am out of ideas and this is driving

my user crazy.

What leads you to believe they're encrypted? Perhaps it's simply an

ownership issue.

 

(personally, I don't like offline files on LAN-connected computers and don't

see the point of them - I disable it via GPO).
