Comments on: How to Schedule Microsoft SyncToy to Automatically Sync http://www.techtraction.com/2008/06/18/how-to-schedule-microsoft-synctoy-to-automatically-sync/ Personal commentary on technology with a sprinkling of tech-tips and how-to articles Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:36:14 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bret http://www.techtraction.com/2008/06/18/how-to-schedule-microsoft-synctoy-to-automatically-sync/comment-page-1/#comment-5051 Bret Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:10:27 +0000 http://www.techtraction.com/2008/06/18/how-to-schedule-microsoft-synctoy-to-automatically-sync/#comment-5051 Sorry this didn't work for you. Since writing the article I've migrated to Vista so I can't go back and recreate the steps outlined. For what it's worth, I've been successfully using this approach with Vista Home Premium. Probably not the answer you wanted to hear. Sorry I can't be of more help. Sorry this didn’t work for you.

Edit autorun.info and include the following lines in the file: [AutoRun] open=c:\program files\path\to\synctoy\synctoycmd.exe -R "Folder Pair Name" Now every time you plug in, synctoy should fire off.

I'd like to see an auto sync kick off when I inserted a "particular" memory stick. Even better, different memory sticks would sync different files and folders. I know some memory sticks "auto" start some utilities pre-installed on them. I believe someone that knows how to program such auto start utilities could create a program that would do just what you have described. I’d take that idea a step further.
