I Dual Boot Vista x32 and Vista x64 each have thier own drive so I dont have
any boot manager issues (You hit F10 on post to choose which drive to boot
from). I then have Two extra drives one for games(D:) one for data (E:) (Note
the Documents folder is on my E Drive). Under both my installs the drives are
mapped in exactly the same manner and the alternate OS drive has no mapping
at all so the two different Vistas dont see each other and this setup has
worked out great. However the new sync toy moved where it stores its pair
info (E:\Documents) so now this method no longer works. What I want to be
able to do is tell synctoy where to store its pair data. So I say I can have
the pair info on my E or D drive so each OS can see it. Does anyone haveany
suggestions?

Sorry we broke your scenario with the change in SyncToy 2.0 to store the
config file under App Data. The SyncToy help file tells you where to find
this location on Vista. I dont think we're going to go back to the old
method. Although we haven't tried this and I won't claim this is a supported
thing - you may try creating a sym link between the two locations that
synctoy looks for under each OS and see if that resolves the issue. YMMV.
Worst case you may have to duplicate your folder pair info under the two OSs.
