Walter I have it on both Vista and on XP it test and it works just fine. The web site say's as much. The left or from folder is always KA the source, the right or to folder is always KA the target.
As Walter say's the file always has the date if you look at details listing. I prefer a subject naming. -------Original Message------- From: Walter Blum Date: 27/12/2007 19:51:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Protection [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > In a message dated 12/26/2007 11:16:40 A.M.

I think this will work out fine. If you can browse to folders you probably can also browse to files within the folders. I assume what you do is look for, let's say, Folder #1 on Drive C: and Folder #1 on Drive F: (that would be my "removable drive," the flash drive where I keep the backups). It doesn't sound at all complicated. I already have the Synctoy installation file on my desktop. All I need to do now is follow the Wizard (to the city of Oz?) What concerned me was that Microsoft identified this program as designed for Vista. But I have XP. Typical Microsoft confusion. Have you ever tried to read one of their Knowledge Base essays?

I hadn't thought of identifying ny folders by date. Is this really that useful? Windows gives you a date every time you click on a folder. Isn't that sufficient?
