We have a Group Ploicy that redirects all users My Documents to server
location, no problem there all works fine. One user however has an issue
where he takes the laptop home and is working offline all the files in his My
Documents open as Read Only and then he has to save them as "Copy of
xxxx.xls" . He can work on files fine when in the office and synchroniztion
works fine when logging on and off but when offline the files are Read Only.
The user is granted exclusive rights to the My Documents folder via the Group
Policy but this is true for many laptop users and this problem has not come
up for anyone else. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. User is on XP
Pro on Dell laptop.

Ignore the read only classification. It is no longer used by Windows in XP
