Hi all,

My window 2000 professional "my document" is pointed to one of the file server in the network and i did a synchronization on the folder so that the document would be available. one question, if i in offline mode, and i did some changes tosome document, and then i proceed to remove the synchronization tab, what would happen to all the files residing on "my document"? Any help on these? i do not seem to be able to locate the files.

Working Offline in W2k is found at:

The description for XP applies and is more detail:

But basically, if you remove the synchronization between the 2 sets of files, you end up with orphaned documents locally that no longer update the version residing on the file server.

Hope this helps,
