Can anyone please tell me how to sync folders between 3
computers on my network? Specifically, each computer is
running Xp, and each has many music files in the My
Documents subfolder "My Music" folder, which is shared on
all machines. Problem is that people on each computer add
files to a specific computer and I would like to be able
to sync those folders so all are identical. Have tried
selecting all files on computer 1 and sending them to
comp.2, (etc) but instead of simply adding files not on
comp.2, it copies all the files to comp.2, so I have
duplicates. Please help. Thanks

do a search online for synchronx. I don't know if you can synch all 3
simultaneously, but you can synch 2 at a time.
