Hello, My company currently keeps our "documents" folder on our shared file server with "offline" copies sync'd to the local drive of any machine you use. I have a laptop and want to reconfigure my account so that my "documents" folder is kept on my laptop's local hard drive without any sync'ing or backup to the server. Is this possible? Thanks in advance, Jimi Thanks for your help!

That's probably done by a group policy which you can't change but you can copy the same docs to another folder of your choice on your laptop.

Thanks for the help guapo. Could my IT administrator accomplish what I'm asking by modifying the group policy? How exactly would he do that? He's tried a couple things but nothing worked so far. I've considered your suggestion to copy my docs to another folder on my laptop's hard drive, but most programs automatically point their default folders to the documents folder, and a few don't give you the option to chance the default location. iTunes wont let you change the default location of the music library file and I get sync errors all the time as a result. Thanks for your help!

You can change your "My Documents" folder to anything you want. If you want, just move your data from your home folder on the server to your local drive. Keep in mind, you'll probably have to be responsible for your own backups. As for your statement "iTunes for example wont let you change the default location of the music library file," that is not a true statement. Edit, Preferences, Advanced, General allows you to change the location of your iTunes Music folder.

Thanks Jennifer, but I think there is more to it than that. iTunes wont let you change the default location of the music library file (iTunes Library.xml), or the iTunes Library file (iTunes Library.itl), not to mention the folder which applications for my iPhone are kept. I'm consistently getting errors when Vista "Sync Center" tries syncronizing these files as they are all treated as "offline files". How can I actually move the "documents" folder from the server to my local hard drive. Not just by creating a new folder I name documents, but I want to move the actual Vista "documents" folder to my hard drive. I don't minding doing my own back-ups. Thanks for your help!
