| 1181772 | 2011-02-27 08:55:00 | Is there a software available to sync betwen a PC and a laptop so they are the same? Ie . , the web-browser, MS Outlook, personal folders and other little programs etc . . Something that works easily, ie . , daily or even better when both computers connect on the wireless network . Thanks . |

| 1181773 | 2011-02-27 10:19:00 | The short answer would be no, as far as I know. You can sync certain files using something like SyncToy (www.microsoft.com) but what you're describing sounds like a roaming profile situation. Although even that wouldn't Sync the programs installed on each PC. You could try to sync %userprofile%\Application Data on each PC which should technically keep the profiles similar but not sure how well it would really work. |

Sometimes I think thou maybe I could of gone that way insted of getting a PC. That thing about upgrading a spare PC box, it's got a old lappie as a print server - won't do it now, have enof issues already. It's so much better to print off a machine you mainly use. Better to just convert the USB printer to wireless/wired networking or take over a laptop (running on batteries) and plug in the cable. |

| 1181776 | 2011-02-28 02:55:00 | I use dropbox to sync all my important stuff as far as files go and chrome sync to sync all my web browsing stuff, favourites etc. Dont know of anything that will sync your installed programs though (at least on a home level). |

| 1181777 | 2011-02-28 05:18:00 | There are plenty of various programs that will sync. Just a few: SyncBack (www.2brightsparks.com) --- Goodsync (www.goodsync.com/) -- Bit more complicated, but Live Mesh (http:) Programs wont be synced, they have to be installed. |

| 1181778 | 2011-02-28 08:45:00 | I guess it's N.A. I don't need to sync programs but would like to sync the outlook PST file, bookmarks, download history, settings thru other small software - like settings and history of download accelerator (completed files, pending files etc), windows recent files .. .office recent files ... Windows Media recent files etc etc .. I have Syncback - it does a decent job to sync folders. I think I have managed to use it for Outlook - I moved the default folder somewhere else and I used SyncBack to sync that folder. But the others .... Not sure how I could sync it to the laptop thou (from the PC). I guess I could change the folder structure so they are similar. That would be slow via wireless G. Like if I demand a working solution daily. I won't want to spend time to sync every day. I just want something that works automatically when set up. |

| 1181779 | 2011-02-28 09:34:00 | sourceforge.net Try these? I'm after something similar to keep my uni work, pictures and other stuff that I like to take with me or that I find while on my laptop, there's not too much but it's nice having a complete collection of my data on multiple pc's. (I would use an Ext hdd but mine's more of an archive thing rather than a consistent use one. |
