Network share no longer there.

Hi,

I'm having a small problem with an XP Pro machine on a NT domain, and I'd be
grateful if you could help. I created a share on a W2000 server, and moved
my "My Documents" folder there. I have synchronisation enabled. A few weeks
later I moved "My Documents" back to its original share on the same server.
I then deleted the share I'd just left behind. But now every time I log on
or off, my XP machine complains that it can't synchronise files because it
can't find the share that I deleted. How can I stop this happening? I've
looked in "My Network Places" but I can't find any settings there, In the
synchronisation settings, I can see the share that it's trying to
synchronise with but I can't see how I could delete it. (By the way I have
Admin rights on the domain and the PC).
Thanks in advance

SteveW

Go to tools/folder options/offline files
You can stop synchronisation there

But I want to keep synchronisation! I stopped it in the place you said,
restarted my PC, then logged off and on again before re-enabling
synchronisation, but it still picks up this share that doesn't exist anymore
and tells me it needs to synchronise it. What's worse, it says that the
server itself is offline when it isn't, I've got drives mapped to it!

From Explorer menu Tools-->Folder Options-->Offline files, hold down the
Ctrl and Shift keys while clicking on the 'Delete files.' button. This will
reset the Offline cache. Say Yes to the dialog box.

That's done the trick! Thanks a lot for your help.
