Support for longer folder pair names and ability to widen the left pane to see those longer names;

The ability to support the maximum length for folder paths, and documentation was added to the help file about how to set up a share to be able to sync deep folder pairs;

Better handling of the difference in precision between NTFS and FAT timestamps;

More discoverable link to the help file for information on how to schedule SyncToy using the Windows XP Task Scheduler;

Support for 800x600 screen resolution;

Added a warning for users if the selected action will take some time to complete;

Added brief explanations of the actions in the user interface;

Improved behavior when choosing folders to include or exclude when there are large numbers of folders involved;

Improved support for accessibility modes.
 
FANTASTIC news!! The old Synctoy (1.2?) seemed to clash with some .net libraries installed by Visual Studio.NET 2005. This seems to be working 100% with my iPod and my backups folder.
 
I have my main pc and a laptop and I am always transferring things accross with my 512mb usb pen drive key.

If I download this software, How would it talk to the other computer: ie: laptop to main big rig ?

That I dont know, looked on the Microsoft web site and dont see it.

Perhaps some one out there uses this and can explain in jargon free type

thank you
