Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



none of those files, it was doc files, i simply copied all folders to
desktop, deleted all syn files, rebooted

then copied all folders back to the my docs folder and resynced and it
seemed to fix the issue.

Error Message: Files of This Type Cannot Be Made Available Offline

Redirection of My Documents failed.
Cause: Certain files cannot be made available offline. Files with the
following extensions cannot be made available offline:

..db*
..ldb
..mdb
..mde
..mdw
..pst
..slm

When you have configured users' My Documents folders to be redirected to the
server, files with these extensions are saved to the server only, and they
are not saved at logon or logoff to the client computer.

The following error message appears if you try to synchronize these types of
files:

"Warnings occurred while Windows was synchronizing your data. Results:
Offline files.Unable to make file name available offline. Files of this type
cannot be made available offline."

For more information about this issue, see article 252509, "Error Message:
Files of This Type Cannot Be Made Available Offline," in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base.

Solution: If you have a file that cannot be made available offline and you
want to avoid seeing this message at logoff and logon, you can perform one
of the following actions:

Move the files that cannot be made available offline out of the My Documents
folder and in to a shared folder on the server.

Disable offline files.

In both of these instances, a file that cannot be made available offline
will be unavailable if the server becomes unavailable. However, it will be
included in the backup of the server by default. If you disable offline
folders, none of your files, regardless of whether they can be made
available offline, will be available if the server becomes unavailable.
