Offline files location and how to change it

Posted: 04-04-2007, 06:36 AM
I have a new laptop runnung Vista with twin hard disks. I want to a: clean up
my c drive and b: reclaim the space used by offline files, and tell Vista to
store the offline (sync) files on the second hard disk. I am trying to sync
my music library and need to move the synced copy to the largest partition in
the laptop

Thank you, it worked. What a terribly long winded way to make the change
though, I think an addition to the offline files applet in Control Panel or
the sync manager is called for.
Thanks!

Why not just telling where to find these files? I am able to move files by
myself... I dont have to call a mechanic to move my car either...
