Default Syncronizing folders on WinXP?

Ive got a destop PC and laptop and would like to syncronize some folders so that when I update a file on one computer its updated on the other.

Is this built into XP so I could start somekind of syncronizing program and by some mouse clicks its done? (via LAN/WLAN network)

What do you mean exactly m8 ? When you have the two machines networked, and then browse the other computer, the updated files should appear ???

I mean that if i save a file to "My Documents" on computer No1 I wish to have update "My Documents" on computer No2. So that I dont end up with different version of the same file.

So is there a way to set that a certain folder on each computer should be syncornized?

Yes, same version of the file.

Would like to be able to set a folder that should be syncronized so that the contents of that folder is the same on both computers. Does have to be automated but would be handy if I just could set up some rules for it and then run the program to get it going.
