Hi all, I'll try to explain my problem.....
I am using win xp pro sp2 on 3 diffrent computers in my home. one of them is my work computer, mostly used for writing ppt. presentations and word ducoments. my intention was to backup my data in that computer to another computer using the offline files synchronization option under win xp. but - problem:
the files are being sychronized not in their orginal path. for axample asuming I saved "dad.doc" under My documents\family\dad.doc in "work" computer after the synchronization process it is just shown My offline files\dad.doc on the other computer. the sub-folder "family" has just vanished.
