That sort of sounds like what we're seeing, but I'm confused by the description in the KB article. It has this under the "Symptom" section:
"If you add files to the Offline Files folder on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer that is shared by more than one user, offline synchronization of those files will occur when another user logs on to that computer." By under the "Cause" section, it says: "Synchronization occurs when the computer connects to the network, not when a user logs on to the computer." It also says that a hotfix is available, but also that it can be fixed with the latest SP. So does that mean that with SP3, I don't need the hotfix? But then again, the article was last reviewed in August of 2007--so it can't be referring to SP3. And most importantly, none of the solutions would seem to work for our environment. The closest seems to be the "Purge files for non-primary users at logoff", but if I'm reading the article correctly we would have to edit the registry on every machine to put in the username of the primary user.

Why does folder synchronization occur for users other than the one who's currently logged in? For instance, I just now logged into a test machine here. Up pops folder synchronization, synching files for a user whose account I had used to log into this machine... Oh, I don't know... Maybe three months ago? Why does the machine think it necessary to synch that user's files when *I'm* the one logging in? Do I have something configured incorrectly?
