I'm syncing a folder for offline use and would like to be able to
uncheck certain folders/files from the sycn. Every subfolder has the
"Always Available Offline" greyed out with a checkmark. I have tried
to enable the local group policy:

User Config --> Admin Templates --> System --> Folder Redirection -->
Do not automatically make redirected folders available offline

But it seems to do nothing after a gpupdate /force. I know in XP this
attribute was under Offline Files and they seem to have moved it.
Anyone know how to allow me to uncheck certain folders/files?

Thanks!

You should post this in a Vista group for best results, but note that you
can't override certain domain group policy settings with anything in your
*local* policy, so that isn't the right place to look.
