Open Windows Help and Support. In Search Help type Offline Files.
Read the references to Syncing.

Oops. Sorry

That's about all I've been doing for the past 2 days. Help and support tells
tells how to establish syncing but nothing about disabling it - at least I
haven't found it.
On the internet I see article about disabling it and they seem to say the
same thing:
Open Panel>Network and Internet>Offline Files.
Problem is I have no Network and Internet icon in my Control Panel. I do
have:
Control Panel|Network and Sharing Center. And there is no Offline Files
setting in there.

Sorry about the multi-post. Windows Mail didn't alert me that there was
the same subject

I did that. I see no 'Offline Files' anywhere.
In the left pane 'Network and Internet' is "highlighted"
In the left pane I see:
Network and Sharing Center
Internet Options
Windows Firewall
People Near Me
Sync Center
I see no 'Offline Files' under any of these.

I'm using Vista Basic sp1.
I see all but 'Offline Files'.
When I search for 'off' The first in the list is Personalize.
Not sure if it matters, but, I have everything turned off
in Network and Sharing Center. Maybe all these being turned of
Vista sees no need to display Offline Files??
I have processes run that I don't need.
mobsync.exe pops up occasionally .
