SyncToy: Automatic Syncronization - Networked Drive

[Guest]

I need to have my laptop automatically syncronize with a network drive
whenever it is connected to that drive. How do I do this either with SyncToy
or by another method?

It depends what you want to synchronize. Give a few more details and you
will likely get a solution here.

I'd try www.centered.com (SecondCopy 2000) - this works very well, better
than the built-in Offline Files feature in XP Pro.

Follow the below listed directions for configuring SyncToy to run via Windows
Task Scheduler, when creating the task, check the radio button under Perform
this task: When I log on.

Scheduling SyncToy
SyncToy does not support a user interface to schedule folder pairs to run at
designated ‎times. There is a method to schedule tasks using the Microsoft©
Windows© operating ‎system.‎
To schedule a task using the operating system:‎
‎1.‎ From the Start menu, select All Programs - Accessories - System Tools -
‎Scheduled Tasks. ‎
‎2.‎ Select Add scheduled task to start the Scheduled Task Wizard. You will
see a ‎list of possible programs to run. ‎
‎3.‎ SyncToy may appear as an option in the list. If SyncToy does not appear
in the ‎list, click Browse and go find it. ‎
‎4.‎ The wizard will next prompt you to enter how often you want to run the
‎scheduled SyncToy (for example, daily, weekly, et cetera). Select a
frequency. ‎
‎5.‎ The next page asks when to start the task. Select a start time. ‎
‎6.‎ The next page asks for the user name and password to run the program
under. ‎Enter your user name and password. ‎
‎7.‎ The final page contains an option to open the properties dialog when
the wizard ‎ends. Select this checkbox. ‎
‎8.‎ Modify the Run textbox to include the –R command line option. –R all by
itself ‎will run all folder pairs that are active for run all. If you want to
run just a single ‎folder pair, add –R“My Pair†to the end of the command
line. Note: there is a ‎space before the hyphen but not one after the R. If
the folder pair name contains a ‎space, surround it with quotation marks, as
the example above shows. ‎
For another example, assume that SyncToy is in the folder named C:\My Folder
and that ‎you want to run a folder pair named "My folder pair." Enter the
command line as follows, ‎including the quotation marks: "C:\My
Folder\SyncToy.exe" -R"My folder pair." Note ‎that there are two sets of
quotation marks in this case--one is around the path to the ‎SyncToy program
file and the other surrounds the folder pair name.‎
