turn off an option of advanced configuration in sharepoint 2010 foundation

I have a SharePoint 2010 Foundation and an option turn off  without anyone touching.

the option "allow document library items can be downloaded to clients without connection" it set up as disabled without anyone touching.

Any Idea?

Thanks.

This is a stretch, but are you using Firefox?

Verify in Site Settings - Search and Offline Availability, that offline is enabled.

Are you saying that this option turns off without anyone claiming to have turned it off? Or are you saying that you would like it turned off by default when a new document library is created?

It would be easy enough to write a powershell script to enumerate all existing document libraries in a webapp/site collection/site and flip that bit on or off, depending on what you want.

ACH1LLES: --> I'm using Internet Explorer 9 and my problem is The property "offline Avaliability" automatic is set "Disabled", and don't know why. But this is a problem becouse the users can't sincronize the site with sharepoint workspace.

I don't want the "OFFLINE AVALIABITY" BECAME TO  DISABLED.  BUT NOW THAT IS APPENING.

FastFngrz, sorry my bad english, I say "that this option turns off without anyone claiming to have turned it off" --> That is the problem.

thanks
I thought you are saying the option on the LIBRARY is disabled?  Is that not the case?  I'm telling you you have to turn on the option for the SITE before you can turn it on on the library.
Hello again:

In the SITE is enabled the option, and is enabled in teh document gallery too. and works fine during some days. but one day without anybody touch, the option is dissabled in the document gallery. and the users can't sincronize from workspace

One thing more,

The firt time happened, I obtain another error in the event viewer saying that the sharepoint  user password for service account was expired, then i renew  teh password.

Thanks  
Is this still an issue?  (the expiring service account, that is) BTW: you should set your service accounts to have non-expiring passwords, unless you have a 2008 Domain mode, then SharePoint can reset password via managed accounts.

Anything in the IIS logs to help?
I set the user Acount to "password not expire" and at the moment no more events about that.

In the IIS events nothing important.

Many thanks
So in your IIS logs, you cannot locate any instances of a user (even you!) visiting a URL with _layouts/listedit.aspx in it?  Very unusual...  I'd expect to see that when you visit that page to see what the setting was..
I looked in the windows even viewer folder IIS,

Exactly where do you want I look in?

Thanks
On the C: drive, in C:\inetpub\logs there are a bunch of W3SVC* folders... each one corresponding to a SharePoint Web Application (and some that don't!) ..

If you opened an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) and execute
findstr /s /c:"_layouts/listedit.aspx" C:\inetpub\logs\*.log

You'll get all the entries where listedit.aspx was called... the client name, client ip and date/time too!
Sorry for the late I haven0t found time to restart the issue.

And today i found that in one site without notbody touch has activated the versions option...

Soon i´ll look the IIS and post it.

thanks
I'll bet you just have a case of too many chef's in the kitchen. Either that or someone is out to make you look foolish. Either way the iis logs will identify the culprit.
Thanks
Finally, change multiple passwords and has not passed, I think, that someone was trying to annoy.
Thaks everybody
