Default Not hardware - Change settings on 'offline folder'

Please ignore this if you don't answer non-hardware questions. I have
already posted this question in various Windows groups, but no one has
answered yet. This is not a hardware related question, but someone here has
probably dabbled in this setting in Windows XP...


I have setup a shared folder on my desktop PC which caches a folder on my
laptop. Amongst the files in this shared folder, I have my outlook data
files, but the PC computer won't cache them - by default .mdb etc files are
not cached. I searched online and found that it is possible to change the
files that are allowed to be cached for offline use - I found the following
page (long URL 1 line):

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...e_ffs_ypef.asp

It says I should change the 'Files not cached' Group Policy setting. But I
can't figure out where this Group Policy setting is? I have looked in the
Tools-Options-Offline files tab in Explorer, but 'Files Not Cached' is not
a section in there - help!!!

For anyone's future reference. Group policy setting is he

Start - Run:
gpedit.msc
