With Windows 2000, I could select individual files and folders to synchronize. As soon as I was upgraded to XP, all of my files synchronize and the option is now grayed out so I can no longer select - its all or nothing. How can I fix this?

From the help file:

To synchronize offline items
Open Synchronization Manager.
Select the check boxes next to the offline items that you want to synchronize, such as a mapped network drive or an Internet Explorer offline Web page.
Click Synchronize.
Notes

Files must be shared before they can be used with Offline Files. Once shared, files will display in the list of available items to synchronize.
To synchronize individual files, folders, or Web pages in Windows Explorer, My Computer, or Internet Explorer, select the item that you want to synchronize. On the Tools menu, select and click Synchronize.
Synchronization Manager can also be opened from the command line. Click Start, click Run, type in mobsync, and then click OK."

I have gotten through this part. The issue is that the "make available offline" option is grayed out on 100% of my files and I cannot control which files I want to synch. I get all or nothing....
