Syncing Outlook Calendar Between Desktop and Notebook
Can anyone recommend a good (free) way to sync my outlook calendar between my desktop and notebook on a regular basis? I am getting tired of manually importing and exporting with a PST file (which works, but is a ton of steps and a pain).
Thanks for any advice -- and before any one suggests it, setting up an Exchange server is not an option.

You could try SyncToy, available << here >>. It's a Microsoft utility and works quite well. It will give you options to synchronize.
Short of that, you could use Business Contact Manager, but that's only included in Small Business Edition and Ultimate Office.

I was considering synctoy. It's worth noting that beta2 is also out: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/synctoybeta.aspx
Is the calendar stored as a seperate file that I could grab (vs. say the rest of my email)? Right now I am manually exporting the calendar to a PST file each time I xfer it -- If I still have to do that, then sync toy doesn't save much time.
If there is a file I can grab somewhere, any harm in xfering between an XP and Vista machine (both Office 2007). I assume I'd need to shutdown Outlook first at the very least...
Microsoft's free activesync looks like it does exactly what I want (syncs Outlook contacts, emails, and or calendar between two devices) but it appears to only work between a computer and a PDA -- it'd be great if I could get it to work between two computers, but I doubt it.
Thanks for the info
