Keep Networked PCs in Sync With SyncToy

If you have two or more PCs in your house, you've probably wished for an easy way to keep certain types of data in sync between them. All you need is Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0, an unsupported but effective tool that creates "folder pairs" between PCs. Once you set up a pair, all it takes is one click to sync the contents of the two folders.

For example, maybe you do most of the MP3 downloading on your PC, while your wife stores the family's digital photos on hers. Ideally, those files would be in sync and up to date on both your machines. That's not only convenient, it also creates an extra backup in case one of the two systems dies an untimely death.
