Looking for some guidence.

When reading description of working with offline files (on the XP Home
laptop) it eludes to being able to select mapped network drives to
syncronize. However, I can find no way to add the network drive to the Sync
Manager.

On my XP Pro desktop I have an option (when selecting sharing on a folder)
to cache files for offline use. This option is not avaiable on the XP Home.
Is there no way to cache files in XP Home?

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a common Outlook pst file on the XP Pro desktop that is being shared
and cached. On the laptop I have mapped the shared network folder and
redirected Outlook to use that file. I would like to have access to the pst
file on the laptop when off line/network. Can't seem to find a way to place
the mapped network drive (on the laptop) in the Sync Manager.

(P.S. Using SP2 on both)

Thanks in advance for your response,
Scott Luckiesh
