Can Offline files be enabled only for a specific user on a specific computer?
Here is my scenario: I have a set of Windows 7 client workstations, each workstation is normally used by one user, but occationally a user will use another user's workstation. I'm using folder redirection to keep all the users data on my server. By default Offline files in Windows 7 is enabled. Over time as users log on to their non-primary workstations offline files get cached on the non-primary workstations. What I would like: Offline files are only enabled on the users primary workstation for the primary user of that workstation. If a user logs into a workstation other than their primary one, folder redirection still work (so they can access their files on the server) but no offline caching takes place for that user. This allows users to work on their primary workstation and have access to all their files if the network server goes down, but it does not cause a buildup of everyone's files on everyone else's workstations over time in the offline folder cache. Can this be done? If so, how?

I'm wondering also, I know this can be done (as I've done it) with XP. I'll probably just try the same method but figured I'd look first to save some time.
