sinternational Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I run both Windows XP on my laptop and Standalone. I need to be able to duplicate everything that I do on my laptop onto to my standalone as I am working. I have seen this before from an old work colleague where she would enter data onto her standalone for example so when typing a letter in Word then this would be automatically updated onto to her laptop so that when she went home she could carry on working.Thanks in advance if someone can solve this for me.Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 There is a few ways you can do this.First of all, are the two computers networked? If so Here is a simple method.Map a network drive from one computer to the other. Make this networked drive linked to the My Documents folder on the remote computer. Then, make a new shortcut on your desktop (or wherever you prefer).right click a blank area of the desktopnewshortcutMake the path: xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\*.*" x:\remote folder /d /y /sReplace c with your hard drive, and replace x with your network drive.
