Hi,

I used to login in a network, and work on a folder on that network. This
folder was also made available offline.
While not being connected to that network, I ticked off the 'make available
offline'. Result: the folder is still there, but as empty as empty can be.
I'm not having any access to that network anymore (temporary assignment),
but the documents that I've created are very valuable to me. Can I find these
files somewhere on my computer (running XP professional).

Thanks.

Oops.

They are (or at least, were) in the hidden folder %systemroot%\csc. You're
not supposed to access them that way, though, and I'd avoid working on
anything you find therein as it will not sync back to the server. You could,
I suppose, copy them out to another location.
