Hello, I'm having problems getting the "Offline Files" feature of Windows 7 to work. For background, I am running Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 on a Lenovo ThinkPad X220. This is a fairly new machine, and other than uninstalling some Lenovo bloatware I haven't touched anything under the hood. When I go to Sync Center -> Manage Offline Files, click "Enable offline files," hit "OK," and then restart my system, going back to the Manage Offline files menu shows that offline files is still disabled and I do not get the "Always available offline" context menu option for network folders. Things I have also tried, to no avail: Enabling the CSC service through the command line (with Admin privileges) by running "sc config CscService start= auto" followed by "net start CscService". Both commands succeeded, and I could see the "Always available offline" context menu option, but it didn't seem to actually do anything once selected. Restarting the system also disabled offline folders.Adding a new registry entry for "FormatDatabase" (of type REG_DWORD) under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters, seting the value to 1, and restarting (as described here). This did not solve the problem. Does anyone know what is going on here? Thanks!
