How to I remove Briefcase links?

I have a Windows Briefcase on my Windows Vista Desktop. I used to use it to
back up some files through my home network. I have a better back up approach
and want to remove the Briefcase functionality from the folder while keeping
the folder intact. I recall that in Windows XP there was a Synchroize item
on the menu in Windows Explorer and one of the options would let you break
the synchronization. I can't find a way in Vista to do it. Help!

Create a new folder and drag in the files, then delete the briefcase. Rename
the new folder to the briefcase folder name.

Thanks. I should have thought of it.
