No, that should be ok. It doesn't have to be the same drive letter on the
two computers. It just has to stay the same on each end (always D: on one
end and always F: on the other). When you set up the folder pair in
SyncToy you can tell it to sync D:\xxxxx on one computer with F:\yyyyy on
the other computer.

No, that shouldn't make any difference. Just treat it like another
drive.
It'll need to have the same drive letter all the time though.

I should have said that i'm using a thumb drive for the sync folders,
does
this make a difference?

No, if you're going to sync a folder on each of two machines, it only
needs
to be on the one that you're going to do it from. You can do the
scheduling on that computer also and as long as it has access to the
other
computer, you're good to go.

i'm wondering if i need to install synctoy on all computers i'm
wanting
to
sync with. I have a laptop and a desk top that i would like to keep
in
sync.
Should synctoy be installed on both machines?

Thanks in advance,
