I run MT-newswatcher on my macs and one of its nice features is that my
..newsrc file is on my server at work so when I can run the program from
two different machines with automatic ftp of the .newsrc file when
starting and stopping. If I could find a Windows newsreader that loaded
and saved the .newsrc file via ftp then I could find a way to waste time
on three different places.

I'm not aware of one that will do that, but it would be a simple thing
to write a batch file or script to transfer the file using Windows
built-in FTP client or WGET. One click and you'd be on your way.
