Synchronized Folders

[Justin Johnson]

Is there a way to make Windows XP Pro automatically keep two folders
synchronized across a network? For example, I want to have the My Documents
folder be the same on both hard drives so that when one computer is off I
can still access those files. Any help with this would be appreciated.

There's Offline Files in WinXP Pro. I personally dislike it and prefer the
third-party route (www.centered.com) as I've had too many problems in the
past with Offline Files.

It's actually built in for the "My Documents" folder. Right click the "My Documents" folder on the desktop and view the properties. Then enter the path to the share on the other computer where your documents are stored. Since the "My Documents" folder is not on a local disk, XP (and 2000 as well) will automatically sync a copy on your pc. Whenever the two pc's reconnect, synchronization will take place.
