CSC tries to synchronize offline files as long as the system is on, not just when the user is logged in. Suppose user A has marked some files for offline cache and logged off. Now user B logs in to the system. CSC still tries to synchronize the user A's offline files and prompts the http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfflineFiles/~3/gV_l3fiSjPU/offline-files-access-denied-error.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Techblogger)0<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1i5M1ibzdtp8P2hyimpRkQWjYxc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1i5M1ibzdtp8P2hyimpRkQWjYxc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1i5M1ibzdtp8P2hyimpRkQWjYxc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1i5M1ibzdtp8P2hyimpRkQWjYxc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfflineFiles/~4/gV_l3fiSjPU" height="1" width="1"/>http://offlinefiles.blogspot.com/2009/11/offline-files-access-denied-error.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759978259983769610.post-8381983727300754515Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:12:00 +00002009-11-09T06:20:32.745-08:00If you enable "Show hidden files/folders" in Folder view options, you can see a folder named CSC in C:\windows directory.

Offline files is a feature in Windows operating systems introduced from windows 2000. This is a very useful feature for laptop users who want to access network shares even when they are not connected to the network. For this you just have to select which folders you want to use in offline mode. These selected folders will be copied by Offline files to the local disk.

This systemdrive is usually c: drive. Initially you may have enough free space on c: but as the system gets older you would have installed lots of new software and you may feel like freeing up the space on c: drive.

The list of excluded file types can be controlled using the registry key ExtExclusionList. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfflineFiles/~3/qhaFR6Cg3R8/offline-files-pst-file-type.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Techblogger)0<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bs8eE_NYOolo6CwbicpLibrv0D4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bs8eE_NYOolo6CwbicpLibrv0D4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bs8eE_NYOolo6CwbicpLibrv0D4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/bs8eE_NYOolo6CwbicpLibrv0D4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OfflineFiles/~4/qhaFR6Cg3R8" height="1" width="1"/>http://offlinefiles.blogspot.com/2009/11/offline-files-pst-file-type.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759978259983769610.post-7331741984080933253Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:30:00 +00002009-11-03T07:06:19.848-08:00Administrators can disable Offline Files usage for all the members in a domain by configuring group policy settings.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\MRxSmb\Parameters\CSCEnabled By default 'CSCEnabled' will have the value 1. Reboot is required to make the change effective.
