Thanks much, Wes. This does help. I'll play with the settings and see what
happens. I'll also read up on the links you provided.

Hi Cathy,

You are using Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000, not a real newsreader, so you
can not attach anything. And if you tried to E-mail me, my address is
munged, remove the 123.

Do you mean the folder that appears on Folder Options | Offline Files tab?

The C:\WINDOWS\Offline Web Pages folder has those blue arrows.

The Icon for that folder is icon #0 from %SystemRoot%\System32\webcheck.dll

Do you have other folders that have that icon?

Open Folder Options...
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
Click the Offline Files tab | UNCheck: Enable Offline Files |
If that doesn't unselect everything else, UNCheck everything else |
Click Apply | Click OK

This can also happen in Internet Explorer.

If you have done this in Internet Explorer, To make the current Web page
available offline

1. On the Favorites menu, click Add to Favorites.
2. Select the Make available offline check box.

Make available offline

Synchronize on the Tools menu. If you want to update automatically, click

I tried to email a screen shot of the folders with blue arrows, but the
email was returned. If you'll go to this PDF

(http://www-it.desy.de/support/projects/win-mig/docu/Faltblatt-Notebooks_eng
lisch.pdf)
and enlarge, you'll see the ones I'm referring to. We do not wish to
synchronize and have never deliberately set anyone up to synchronize.

Is synchronization strictly controlled through
Start, Accessories, Synchronize?

No.

Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Synchronize is really mobsync.exe, the
Microsoft Synchronization Manager.

mobsync.exe is a process associated with Internet Explorer and is used to
synchronize the offline pages you have chosen to be stored locally with
the matching online pages.

Synchronization Manager can also be opened from the command line. Click
Start, click Run, type in mobsync, and then click OK.

Type: synchronize in the Search box in Help and Support, there are 75
hits.

We recently noticed that when viewing files through Explorer and
when clicking on Open in Word or Office programs, some file names
are black and some are blue. I particularly noticed that temporary
files are blue. Other than that, we can't figure out any rhymn or
reason why some would be one color and others another.

We also noticed that some folders have the blue arrows indicating
synchronization and others don't. We're not sure what's determining
that either since we never set up synchronization.

Thanks for any enlightenment you may be able to offer.

Cathy
