Sync'ing a Folder on a USB Keydrive to a folder on my HD

Expand Post »
I just got a few USB KeyChain Drives, and I'm using them to store my schoolwork. I'm just worried that I'm going to loose it :o .

On network shares, I have the option in the right click context of the folder to "Make Available Offline", but this isn't the case for my USB drive.

Am I missing an easy setting in Windows? Are their any 3rd party utils that do this?

This is an XP Pro SP1 machine, in case you were wondering ;-).

Re: Sync'ing a Folder on a USB Keydrive to a folder on my HD

Don't you just love answering your own questions? The answer is "My Briefcase" - and its built into Windows. It's kinda hidden in XP, theres no icon to it, no shortcut on the start menu, nothing.

I did a quick google search reveals a TechTV site, http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/an...370236,00.html.

If you don't want to navigate off techtalk, these are the steps:
  • Start -> Run -> syncapp
  • My Briefcase is now on your desktop

That thing still exists? Last time I heard of it was Win95/98!
