using files on two computers

[bobsmith1492]

I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

This is the situation: I have two computers with me, my desktop and my laptop, both running Windows XP.

This is what I want to do: I want to be able to work on files stored on either computer, using either computer - only certain files, i.e. schoolwork.

I have fiddled some with the windows briefcase thing; I'm not sure how to set it up, or if it can do what I want it to. I would like to be able to click 'update' when the computers are linked and have my 'school' folders from the two computers combined so that if I had done anything on the one computer, the other would be updated as well.

Is this feasible? Is briefcase the right tool? Any tips?

- Much thanks in advance

Well I use CVS to sync my home pc my work pc and my laptop. Probaly a bit to complicated but it gives you the ability to go back to the last save point as well as a bunch of other benefits.

There are a lot of Sync. programs (many free). Put the Files that you want to sync in its own directory and sync on demands or by schedule.

Example: Allway Sync - folder synchronization tool.
