CONFIGURE SYNCHRONIZATION MANAGER

3. What does Synchronization Manager do?

Lesson Summary

Before you can use offline files, you must use the Folders Options selection on the

Tools menu of My Computer or Windows Explorer to configure your computer to

use offline files.

After enabling the Offline Files feature, you can use My Network Places to make

any network-accessible folder for which offline caching is enabled available

offline.

To make shared folders on your own computer available for other users to use

offline, you must use the Sharing tab of the folder’s Properties dialog box to con-

figure the offline caching for the folder. By default, shared folders are configured

for offline use.

Synchronization Manager allows you to configure synchronization to occur when

you log on, when you log off, or both; and you can specify that you want to be

asked before synchronization occurs.
