synchronisefolders on two computersI often have to synchronise some folders on my desktop and notebook.
So far I was simply copying the contents of one folder into another. This takes time. How do I synchronise the folders without replacing the files which have not been changed? WindoewExplorer-Tools-Synchronise does only some synchronisation with the Internet On 19.10.2007 07:55 UK Time, aa wrote:

Why not try it and see for yourself? Cannot agree more about XP and Vista. On all PC which came with XP, after
struggling with it, I just replaced it with w2k. Wanted to do the same on my wife's new Vista, but it turned out that there not all the drivers for w2k available and also this will invalidate the warranty. Can't even make it dual-boot - bastards.

I have been using it for years and the support was exemplary when I needed some help in the early days. aa wrote:

Basic pc-to-pc synchronization is pretty straightforward using the gui. More advanced options are a matter of editing plain-text profiles. It is no longer being actively developed but is being actively maintained. Excellent doc, active community. hth, -Craig
