Can I use Vista Home Premium with offline files synchronization
I have a laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium. My My Documents files are redirected (manually) to a shared drive on a Windows XP Professional machine. What I want to know is, 1. Can I enable offline files from the Vista PC? 2. If so, how? I'm not looking for any sync tools or third party programs. I'd like to know if Vista Home Premium can do it by itself with configuration. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but it looks like you can't do it without 3rd party programs or a sync tool.
