Hello, I have a problem with some items that are present in the Offline Files. For example viewing the Offline Files Folder\Computers\servername.domain.name I see a couple of printer-shares and other resources present on that particular server. The reason they are there is because the Windows 7 Offline Files cache is also used to store a temporary version of a resource if the network latency is below a certain thresshold. That's why some of the older or heavier used printer-servers show up in my offline files cache. When I try to remove those items (Delete Offline Copy) either as a normal user or as an administrator, I cannot delete them. I tried working with the win32_OfflineFilesCache class using powershell and with the DeleteItems method (or Pin, unPin, ..) I could control the contenst of my offline files correctly, but NOT for these printer-resources. I could of course delete everything using the FormatDatabase reg-key and reboot, but I do not want that. I simply want to be able to remove certain single entries without having to break open the CSC folder and physically removing the entries. I want to be able to do that using the available Offline Files API's, either through WMI or via a custom Visual Studio solution that uses the IOfflineFilesCache interface. The latter isn't that easy unfortunately because the VB or C# language doesn't have access to the Interop Type libraries of that interface. There is an MSDN article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480674.aspx) that explains "IDL hacking" for the sync interface but not specifically for the CSC*.dll. I'm not an expert on C# to begin with so that's beyond my knowledge and can only hope MS will add the supported TLB into the dotNet Framework soon so we can develop in C# easily. I hope someone can help me achieve what I want: delete any required item from the CSC without formatting the database... Best regards, EricBest regards and many thanks in advance, Eric Vegter
