Default RE: Orphaned Offline Files

Matt,

As there is no way to deslect a user from the offline files settings you
will need to reinitilaze the offline files cache, to do this on the users
laptop open the My Documents folder/users home drive and go to the folder
menu and select folder options, then on the window that opens select Offline
files. On the delete items button press the CTRL+Shift buttons and then
click it with the mouse. You will get a message telling you that you will
need to restart. Once you restart all offline files will have been cleared.

Now get the user to select the required files from the NEW shares.

Hope this helps

Simon
