Offline Files Synchronization - Can't change sync destination

We recently replaced our 2003 Server w/ a SBS 2003 server.  This was an in place upgrade where the domain stayed the same and nothing had to be replaced on the workstations.  Some of the users have laptops and their My Documents folder is redirected to the server.  I also had offline file synchronization enabled for My Docs so they could view the files when the laptop was offline.  

Now that the old server has been replaced the laptop keeps trying to sync the My Docs folder to the old server.  How do I change this so the sync goes to the new server?

Redirect Config:
Current Setup: \\Server\Redirect\gyearack\My Documents
Old Setup: \\scfile\Redirect\gyearack\My Documents

Sync error: \\scfile\redirect on File Server - DC - DNS (scfile)): Unable to connect to '\\scfile\redirect.' The network name cannot be found.

Thanks for the help

Navigate to this key, and delete the share that points to \\scfile\Redirect\gyearack\My Documents

Is it there?

Also, you can try and reinitialize the CSC store.....

I was wondering why I wasn't receiving my emails very often.  Took a look at Tools -> Options in Outlook Express, and lo and behold!  Somehow my usual setting of check for messages every 2 minutes had disappeared and been replaced by 30 minutes!  Wonder how that happened?

Strange but there is no Cache or CSC folder located on the desktops.  But I deleted the files from the Offline File Folder and was able to resync successfully.
