Use a Briefcase (Right click in explorer window -> New -> Briefcase)

Search for my name I did a thread on this. They recomended the sync via a maped networked drive with files available for use offline. (this is done via windows explorer in the 'tools' drop down menu at My computer. When I come home and go back online it syncs up. IT IS GREAT!
Read my thread and do a google. That is the only way I could figure it out via a microsoft web site.

It really does work well.

I highly recomend it.

It takes some time to set up which files and folders you need to allways have synced. My latest problem has been getting my one note files. Programs all have different places they like to throw their files.

Offline files are only availible in windows XP Professional and windows 2000. So if you're on XP Home it's not going to work.

Well...at least one of the computers needs to be XP Pro or win2k. The other one can be anything. Just set up the offline stuff on the system that supports it. I use this as well, very nice system
