Offline folder files r w

[Snipor]

I made a network folder available offline. For some reason or another, when I'm disconnected from the network, and I click on a file some of them say access denied to the shared drive, but others work fine. I noticed then that the ones that didn't work had nothing in the Access column where the other ones had soemthing like 'other
R/W'. Some have 'user R/W', and some have both. I can access every single one of the files through the offline folder when I'm currently connected to the network (or I simply browse to the network share and open it that way.) The problem occurs when I am not longer connected to the nework and working offline. How I make it so that all the files show user rw? I've done some googling and a couple people have posted about this before but never did find an actual answer. Please help.

Are you a local admin on your workstation? Try opening gpedit.msc from Start/Run and check the settings of the following policies:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\ Offline Files
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files

I can't think of one that would give you the exact behavior you're seeing, but it's worth checking.

Do you have another share you can attempt setting up some offline folders with? Whether you succeeed there or not would narrow down the possible problems.

Yes I double checked and we are local admin. I got to looking and I noticed that the files that were giving issues were files that we have transfered from a different computer using a different login. To make a long story short, I copied all the files from the folder of the actual network folder to a new folder, knowin that the copied files would have to have all my correct permissions. I deleted the orginal folder, renamed the copied to folder to the old folder I just deleted then made it available offline. Everything works now and has exactly the same access permissions.

Even though it is fixed, I still find it interesting that as long as I was actually connected to the network, I could access those "make available offline" files. But as soon as I disconnected, I would get the error. And the error was only on certain files. Strange.
