My personal solution is to only archive on one computer only. It works for me, because I switch the computers daily (work/home). The second approach I use for similar problems with other applications is to use NTFS hard links [1] to "simulate" the same folder structure on all computers, e.g. with use of a dedicated root folder like "C: \Local", and then configure the hard linked folders instead of the "real" ones which have individual paths on each computer. Whatever you change in a hard linked folder is done in the source folder as well. As an example, you could configure "C:\Local\MLO\Archive" as archive folder in MLO, which is a hard link to "C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\My Documents\My Dropbox\MLO \Archive". The hard link support is sparse in MS Windows (command line tool only, AFAIK), but there are good tools like [2] to add better support.
