In Windows 7 there’s a feature called Offline Files which works with Sync Center to make network files and folders available offline when you’re not connected. This feature is cool when you want to access network resources while offline.
It is enabled by default in Windows 7 even if you don’t’ access any network resource. While it’s useful, it is not always okay to have it turned on when you won’t be using that feature.
