>>> MORE INFORMATION
>>> Certain file types are excluded by default as a means to prevent file
>>> conflicts and data loss. The mechanism that the Offline Files feature
>>> uses is Client-Side Caching (CSC). CSC can recognize when
>>> synchronization issues exist (for example, if the copy of a file on the
>>> server has been modified since the last synchronization). In such a
>>> case, you can select which version to use, but you cannot merge the
>>> contents.
>>>
>>> There may also be another synchronization mechanism that is typically
>>> used for the file type. One such file type is .pst files. This type is
>>> included in the list to prevent conflicts with the built-in offline and
>>> synchronization features in Microsoft Outlook. The Offline Files feature
>>> uses a replacement method of synchronization, so there is no way to
>>> merge the two copies.
>>>
>>> You can modify the list of excluded extensions by editing the
>>> appropriate Group Policy object (local, domain, organizational unit, and
>>> so on). For example, to remove the .pst extension from the list of
>>> excluded files, enable the following sample policy in Policy Editor:
>>> Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline
>>> Files\Files not cached
>>> Then, type the following string in the Extensions box:
>>> *.slm;*.mdb;*.ldb;*.mdw;*.mde;*.db?
>>> Log off, and then log back on. This replaces the default list,
>>> preserving all but the *.pst extension. You can use the same method for
>>> any of the other extensions.
