NoteHKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetCache
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Prevents users from enabling, disabling, or changing the configuration of Offline Files.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable user configuration of Offline Files Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Disable user configuration of Offline Files policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The policy is disabled or not configured. Users can configure Offline Files. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. Users cannot configure Offline Files. |
When the value of this entry is 1, the system removes the Offline Files tab from the Folder Options dialog box. It also removes the Settings item from the Offline Files context menu and disables the Settings button on the Offline Files Status dialog box. As a result, users cannot view or change the options on the Offline Files tab or the Offline Files dialog box.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable user configuration of Offline Files policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files).
Note
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. When this entry appears in the registry, a policy is in effect and the system ignores the entries in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache subkeys which store the option settings. If the Offline Files tab does not operate as expected, check to see if this entry is in the registry.
This entry can appear in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If this entry appears in both subtrees, the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE takes precedence over the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
