Hi there... Has anyone on the list ever hacked away at a laptop machine with Windows 2000 Offline Folders? Are these folders encrypted at all, and if I were to reset the user's password and then log in, would that give me access to the folders? Any other concerns? I am trying to assess the risks involved in the possible use of offline folders by our mobile workforce.
