Keeping Laptop/Desktop in sync

[Guest]

What is the best way to keep all my everyday files in sync between my laptop
and desktop? How do people usually set themselves up to have current copies
on both computers?

I have WinXP Home SP2, laptop and desktop connected through home network,
wireless laptop, hardwired desktop, guest account password protected, second
hard drive on desktop is shared and mapped on the laptop.

The files I'd like to keep in sync are anything in "My Documents" and my
Outlook 2003 .pst files. Is keeping the .pst file a completely different
ball of wax?

You could use SyncToy from microsoft. It's free and easy!

I'm a big fan of SecondCopy from www.centered.com

Re PST files - remember that you won't be syncing / merging changes. You'll
be overwriting an older copy of the file with the newer one.
