Working with Network Files

Offline

I

n Chapter 16, “Making Remote Network Connections,”

you learn how to connect to computers on your network

using an Internet connection. This is very useful if you’re

away from your network and need to grab a file or two or

just check a fact in some document. However, what do you

do if there’s no Internet connection available? In that case,

there’s nothing you can do to get connected to your net￾work. Still, with a bit of advance planning on your part, you

can do the next best thing: You can take a bit of the network

with you.

This is possible using a Windows Vista feature known as

offline files. These are network files or folders that Vista has

copied to a special folder on your computer. When you dis￾connect from the network—that is, when you go offline—

the files and folders remain on your computer, so you can

view and even edit the files any time you like. When you

reconnect to the network—that is, when you go online—

you can synchronize your offline files with the network orig￾inals.

This chapter shows you how to enable offline files, work with files offline, and

synchronize the files to keep everything up-to-date. Note, however, that not all

versions of Windows Vista come with the Offline Files feature. You only see

this feature if you have Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate.

➔ For the details on making remote connections to your network, see “Connecting to a

Remote Desktop via the Internet,” p. 380.

Activating the Offline Files Feature

Most Vista systems should have offline files enabled by default. However, it’s a

good idea to check to make sure that your system has them enabled. Here are

the steps to follow:

1. Select Start, Control Panel to open the Control Panel window.

2. Click Network and Internet to open the Network and Internet window.

3. Click Offline Files. Vista opens the Offline Files dialog box, shown in

Figure 11.1.
