Hi,
Well I got a new laptop with Vista Home Premium, my old laptop has XP Home. I made a new folder in Vista called 'Old laptop' and shared it. I then went onto the old laptop (with XP) and added it to 'My Network Places'. Then I moved pretty much all of my files and folders to the shared folder in 'My Network Places'. It all seems to be working fine, all of the files are being transferred as I write. However, I was wondering whether I will have a copy of my files/folders on both machines. I would have thought so, but I couldn't copy the information due to a lack of hard drive space.
So basically I want to know if the two laptops will both have a copy of the original files and folders on my old laptop. Also, do these shared folders synchronise automatically?
Thanks a lot for your help.
