Vista Offline Files - Can't Exclude Subfolders

[Guest craigfreyman@hotmail.com]

I'm syncing a folder for offline use and would like to be able to

uncheck certain folders/files from the sycn. Every subfolder has the

"Always Available Offline" greyed out with a checkmark. I have tried

to enable the local group policy:

 

User Config --> Admin Templates --> System --> Folder Redirection -->

Do not automatically make redirected folders available offline

 

But it seems to do nothing after a gpupdate /force. I know in XP this

attribute was under Offline Files and they seem to have moved it.

Anyone know how to allow me to uncheck certain folders/files?

 

Thanks!

You should post this in a Vista group for best results, but note that you

can't override certain domain group policy settings with anything in your

*local* policy, so that isn't the right place to look.
