Rob! Ok, here you go!  I like it!

 How to Synchronize a folder on your harddrive or network to your thumbdrive.

1. Download SyncToy and install it.

2. Run SyncToy from the Start Menu

3. You’ll now have to create a Folder Pair

4. Choose a Left Folder (this is a folder on your PC’s hard disk) and a Right Folder (this points to your removable USB Drive)

5. Choose a Synchronization Method.

  • Synchronize: Two Way Synchronization (checks both sides).
  • Echo: Transfer happens Left to Right. Renames and Deletes are also synced -left to right.
  • Contribute: Left to Right Syncing. Renames are done on right with left as the source. No Deletions occur.

 6. Select run and you are done (setup that is).
