Offline files

I am trying to configure offline files for some of our
laptops. The problem is that when I go to "My
computer", "tools" then Folder options, the Offline files
tab is not there. As a result I can't specify which
network files/folder should be made availabale offline.

Any assistance would be appriciated.

Thanks
Alistair

Are they using XP Pro, or Home? Home doesn't have offline files....if you're
on Pro, and use a domain, it's possible that this feature is disabled in a
group policy.

I suggest using another method anyway (I don't like offline files) -
www.centered.com - SecondCopy 2000 is now included in my standard laptop
build for clients.
