I've recently been having problems playing movie files or mp3s in Vista. From a game, winamp, WMP, nero player, etc, nothing is working. The error...

Hey,

Is there a way I can keep the 'My Documents' folders on my PC and laptop synchronised? At the moment I have to remember which files I've altered on one, and the manually copy the files to the other. It can be a pain sometimes.

What would be cool, is if I can run something on one of them, that automatically does it (keeping the most recently modified file if there's a conflict, deleting a file on my laptop that I've deleted on my PC, etc etc).

I could write something myself that does it using Java or C++'s net libraries, but there's got to be something in Vista I've overlooked, or simple utility on the web somewhere.

I need to edit the host file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsProblem being the C:\Windows is read only and the permissions propagate downwards....

I got home today to find that my hard drive had magically filled itself up and absolutely nothing worked. I was able to find the file using WinDirStat, copy it to a spare hard drive for further analyzing and delete the original. Now this is going to sound really weird... but I have memory problems and can't remember where the file came from. The Dr. says... well the doctors say a lot of different things but the important thing (for you guys) is that something created a 10.4 gig error log in less than a day and I have no idea where it came from. I have the actual file on a backup hard drive but Notepad can't handle a 10 gig file and nothing else can handle its file type (or lack thereof.)
