Hiyas.
I have a peer-peer network of three PCs, all running XP Pro. One of those machines is a laptop on which I have enabled offline files. The problem I have is that when I enable offline files, it seems to by default force the 'My Documents' folder and subfolders to be available offline ('My Documents' is mapped to a shared folder on another pc).
The trouble is, the 'My Documents' folder contains way more data than I want copied over to the laptop. When I look at the options for this folder or any of the subfolders by righ-clicking on them, the 'Make available offline' option is already ticked and greyed out, preventing me from de-selecting it.
I also notice that in the registry there is a key relating to this folder, suggesting that it is administratively assigned. Looking in Group Management, I can find no indication that this is the case.
Any ideas please?

Don't use My Documents. Create a new folder called "My Docs" or something and use it instead. The options 'Make available offline' should be available to normal folders.
Otherwise, you could give the program Enabler a try: It lets you "enable" grayed-out options.
