Syncronizing folders

I have a laptop with Windows XP Pro and a Desktop with Windows 2003 Server. I am wondering if there is a way to syncronize the "My Pictures" folders between the two.

You could just share the directory and copy the files over keep them on 1 system as the priority. If you have enough bandwidth and are always connected this is easy.

Fatal_Exception,
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the detailed answer.

jgiordano,
I had tried that before, but my pics are in separate folders within "my Pics". When I copied them over, some ended up getting deleted, as one folder would over-write the second folder. Lost some pictures that way.

One followup question if you don't mind. On my desktop, it says, "Remote Desktop is configured to accept multiple connections. Offline files cannot be enabled with Romote Desktop in this configuration". I only need to allow one connection thru remote desktop. How would I fix this?

Never seen that warning before, but I assume (if you are not using Remote Desktop) that you could turn it off. This is done with the Remote Tab of your My Computer Properties.

It may also be referrring to Fast User Switching... hmm...
