Windows Offline Files - Is it possible to reduce the Slow Link Detection time interval?

Hi,

Windows Offline files seems to detect a Slow Link transition pretty quickly and changes to offline mode, but it seems rather slow detecting when the Slow Link transitions back to a Fast Link - is there any way to reduce the Slow/Fast Link Detection checking interval as I can't find a Registry Key that controls this?

ie, if you pull the network, the machine pretty quickly switches to offline mode, but when you re-insert the network it seems to take 2 minutes to detect the re-connection before it switches to online mode.

I would very much like to reduce this 2 minute interval to something more like 15 to 30 seconds - can this be done?

Thanks and Regards

Gary

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I get different results to you, it seems to take 2 minutes to notice that the server is available again once I reconnect to the network. This behaviour seems to agree with that reported on this blog here:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/netro/archive/2010/09/15/slow-link-detection-for-offline-files-in-windows-vista-sp2-amp-windows-7.aspx

"While in slow-link mode, Windows periodically (every 2 Minutes) checks the connection to the folder and brings the folder back online if network speeds improve."

I hence would like to reduce this 2 minute interval, but can find no registry setting for it and wondered if anyone else had a suggestion?
