I?ve got a Desktop and Laptop networked and want to make all files & folders in "My Documents" on the desktop, available offline (I don?t want to use Briefcase) on the laptop.
Desktop is running Me
Laptop is running XP Home
Is this possible or have I got to upgrade the OS.

To share on WinXP In Windows Explorer Right Click on Folder that you want to share and choose 'share' and give it a name. The same should be possible on Win98/ME although I only have these machines at a differant location so cannot give full detailsto set up.

Hope this answers your query BUT :-

PS: What do you mean by 'offline' as this is normally used by me to mean off of the computers (and available when a computer is turned off)which would normally need some other storage device on the network.
