Windows shouldn't take it upon itself to make an entire network share available offline just because I want a program to monitor files in the share. BUT, that shouldn't have anything to do with making them available Offline.
The only thing I can think of is that I have Windows Media Center on the workstations configured to monitor the homeserver\videos and Music folders. In addition, Offline Files reports errors from time-to-time that it couldn't fully sync my Music and Video shares because the cache is full. And several days later they all reappear again. It starts the process, but it never completes. It doesn't give me an error, it just doesn't delete all the offline folders. If I go to "Manage Offline Files" from the Sync Center, then to "View Offline Files", I try to manually delete the shares from there but they won't completely delete. If I manually browse the server (by going to \\homeserver\), then right-click on the Music or Video shares, I don't see the tab for Offline Files options, so I can't disable/uncheck it there. Nor can I find a way to permanently stop the sync. I never setup Offline Files in Win7 to sync with the home server or its shares.
I have over 2 terabytes of music and video/TV and only 250GB of space on the workstations.
For whatever reason, Offline Files on the workstations keeps synchronizing my Videos and Music shares located on the Home Server, causing my local C: drive on each workstation to fill up.

I have a server PC running Windows Home Server (Power Pack 2 installed), and 2 workstations running Win7 Ultimate. And I can't figure out a way to permanently stop the shares from syncing without disabling offline files entirely, what I don't want to do. Since upgrading to Windows 7, I've been dealing with an issue that automatically syncs network shares located on my home server computer that I DIDN'T setup to be available offline.
