It's called briefcase. Start Help and type in briefcase and it gives full
instructions to use it.
Here's the starting information from help
"If you frequently work on files outside your main computer (using a
portable computer, for example), you can use Briefcase to synchronize the
files with their counterparts on your main computer when you finish working
on them.
When you reconnect your portable computer to your main computer (or insert a
removable disk containing the modified files), Briefcase automatically
updates the files on your main computer to the modified versions. You do not
need to move modified files out of Briefcase or delete the existing copies
on your main computer.
Briefcase stores files and displays their status. For instance, it can show
you whether a file is linked to the original file on your main computer, or
whether it is an orphan file. This information helps you keep files
organized and prevents you from accidentally deleting or copying over the
most recent version of a file.
Note
a.. When you are using Briefcase to copy files from your main computer to
your portable computer, the two computers must be connected, either over a
network or with a direct cable connection. "
Good luck

I will be working both in the field with my Laptop, and in the office with
my desktop. The two are on the same LAN when I am in the office. I thought
there was a command that would update my Desktop and my Laptop to the latest
versions and new files in a given directory when comparing the two
computers. My concern is that I will work in the field, then again in the
office without updating the office files. In this case, something would be
thrown out and work would be lost. Is there such a feature in Windows XP.
Thanks to any response.
