Keith,

Yes, the files are stored on my PC. She accesses them via the network, where
sharing is set (and permision to alter).

I think I am saying the latter.

The views I set are not seen by her.
The views that she sets are not retained the next time she views the folder,
nor do they alter the views that I have set on my PC - these remain the
same.

If views of folders on a network are not saved, then we will be stuck with
the status quo, although it annoys her intensely.

I guess a way around it may be to write a script which picks up all the
shared files and writes them to a destination on her PC which is *not*
Offline Folders. The problems are:
1. Writing the script
2. Remembering to run it (the XP offline facility is intended to do al this
for you)

Cheers,
