I used to sync data files between my desktop computer running Windows

Since Dropbox stopped supporting Windows XP yesterday, I've had to
develop a workaround. Here it is, in case it helps anyone facing a
similar problem -- one line in a batch file:

XXCOPY J:\Dropbox\*.* G:\Stevedoc\Dropbox\ /BN /s /y

sig spam omitted in reply

Any decent newsreader will automatically omit the sig in a reply -- so
why do you need to say so?

You did NOT put your signature content after a signature delimiter line
(dash dash space newline). So how could ANY newsreader know you added a
signature? Yes, my NNTP client does strip out sigs but they actually
have to be sigs.

So one of those destinations must be a mapped network drive. Then why
do you need Dropbox at all? There are lots of sync tools, like SyncBack
Free. You used one but between Dropbox folders yet with drive mapping
the sync could be between any set of folders.

Well, I might have said thanks, I'll have a look at it, but the troll
comment above makes me wonder about your bona fides and that of the
software you recommend.

See, still NOT a sig. Mine was not a troll comment (and I made it very
short). It was a hint to you that you did NOT actually delimit that
off-topic content (spam) as a signature; however, rarely are signatures
ever on-topic if anything more than how to deobfuscate your e-mail
address in your From header should you ever want to take a conversation
offline (which is typically considered rude as you yank away the
conversation from the community where you published it). You use your
signature (which is not actually a signature) to spam your web sites.


Oops, my bad.

Fixed now, I hope.
