I have heard about Synchronising a PC to a laptop.

See "HOW TO: Use the Briefcase Feature in Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307885) and "HOW TO: Use Offline
Files in Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307853).
I am using a manual method for this, but this is not recommended if
you use the laptop and the desktop at the same time: you can write a
batch file with XCOPY, or better XXCopy (http://www.xxcopy.com), to
copy over the files that have changed when you switch the machines.
 
Hi, Glenn, if you are planning on synchronizing data-files, then the program
"SecondCopy" is what you should use. I am using it to copy My Documents to
the laptop using a profile "Exact Copy" and if the HD fails in my desktop I
am able to re-install all my data after HD installation.
Check this website for SecondCopy.

Good luck,
