I have a laptop & desktop on a wireless network. Is there any way to set up
a folder on each and have the contents synchronized - so if one file is
added to one - when the computers are both on the network the folders sync.

From Help and Support...which is part of XP
To synchronize files on connected computers using Briefcase

1.. While the computers are connected, open Briefcase on your portable
computer and copy the appropriate files from your main computer.
2.. Work on the files on your portable computer.
3.. When you have finished working on the files, connect the two computers
if they were disconnected, open Briefcase on your portable computer, and
then do one of the following:
a.. To update all the files, on the Briefcase menu, click Update All.
b.. To update only some of the files, select the files you want to
update, and then on the Briefcase menu, click Update Selection.
Notes

a.. When you are using Briefcase to copy files from your main computer to
your portable computer, the two computers must be connected, either over a
network or by a direct cable connection.
b.. While you are working on your files, the two computers do not need to
be connected.
