i use my home PC as well as my work-supplied laptop for working on projects for work.
i bring my laptop home everynight and plug it into my home 'network' (4-port router)... what i would like to do is have certain directories in the 'my docs' folder on each machine automatically syncronize. this would save me alot of hassle trying to make sure i always had access to all the files.

is there any utility out there that will do this?

thanx

ps - is there a better forum in which to ask this questions?
 
If you are using windows xp you could make the files "off line files" then they would sync automatically.
 
you mean set up my documents on one machine as a mapped drive on the other, than turn on offline files?

what if i only want to do certain folders? i dont want all the infomation in mydocuments on my desktop to be on my laptop?

i dont have any experience with this (obvious as that may be), can you give me a little more direction?
thanx

Use microsoft briefcase. It's been built into windows since at least windows 95 and is meant for the exact problem you have. I can't tell you how to use it because I don't know myself.
 
im on xp.. im pretty sure it doesnt have briefcase.
anyway.. im gonna play w/ it. ant pointers would be great.
thanx🙂
 
XP does have the briefcase feature. Right click in a blank area of the Windows Desktop or inside any folder. Choose New>Briefcase from the pop-up context menu.
