Disable Synchronization Warnings in Windows XP
Offline files in windows XP can come in handy if you need to take your work home with you, but if you have any .mdb or .pst files in a folder that has been made available offline you'll get an annoying warning message every time you synchronize.
You can disable these warning messages by adding a registry key under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SyncMgr
Create a new dword value called "KeepProgressLevel" and set its value to one of the following options.
1. - Pause on errors.
2. - Pause on warnings.
3. - Pause on errors and warnings.
4. - Pause and display info.
Option 1 will prevent any warning message from being displayed after the sync operation, but it will still display errors.

This works wonders, thank you!
turning off the warnings are nice, but is there a way to turn off the pause on error msgs?
I have users who shutdown and walk away for the night and assume the computer will shut off, but sometimes they will get an error and the computer will sit on all night. It would have been great if there was an option 0 to dissable all stops, but 0 didn't work and I can't find anything else either.
You can completely disable the offline synchronization byt oing the following:
Click on Start
Then Control Panel
Make sure, you change click on "switch to classic view" oin the top left hand corner of the control panel
open up the Folder options icon and click on the "Offline Files" tab.
You can enable/disable synchronization from this tab. And modify other synchronization settings.
Where do you find the information for this kind of thing? The Solution works wonders, but how did you know that the command even existed? I have always wondered things like this in the back of my mind. Is there a Registry edit reference somewhere that I am not aware of?
