How to Make Entire Folder Tree Available Offline in Windows 7?

When Windows is installed and is in its default configuration it always asks the users to make sub-folders available offline whenever they try to configure the offline availability of any parent folder. This allows users to choose the appropriate option as per their requirements. However in some cases administrators or home users may want to make the entire folder tree available offline by default that is every time any folder is configured to be available offline. As an administrator you can configure Windows group policy settings to do so by following the steps given below:

1. Logon to the computer with administrator account.
