If not, it would be nice if they would open-source the software like they do for products like Wix ().
WHAT IS BETTER THAN SYNCTOY UPDATE
I do have to wonder after doing all this if Microsoft ever intends to update SyncToy.
However, for a drive letter change, the hack is quicker and could be made even better by creating a script to update the file. Of course, it might be simpler to just recreate the folder pair at this point. I suspect for path modifications you could use a combination of search and replace along with insert commands to make the necessary changes. It turned out to be a simple find and replace operation. I wondered if I could at least change the drive letters using a hex editor like Hex Editor Neo (). I didn't buy this explanation right away and noticed there was a binary file called SyncToyDirPairs.bin in %localappdata%\microsoft\synctoy\2.0 or %HOMEDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\SyncToy\2.0. Initially, I found out it was not possible to change folder pairs' locations for a given synchronization entry after it was created (). This does not play well with Microsoft's SyncToy, which I use to synchronize documents, pictures, and so on with an external hard drive for backup purposes (automated using Windows' Task Scheduler).
WHAT IS BETTER THAN SYNCTOY MANUAL
There is no support manual describing this little facet unless I missed it in the generic user manual.)Īfter installing the second optical drive, I notice the drive letters had changed. You just need to remove the front case by pushing the tabs on the inside of the case and the drives side out the front after removing the holding screws. (Interesting sidebar: you do not need to remove the right side panel on the Gateway DX4300 case to remove the drive. For now, I'll just apply extra pressure on the right or front side until the spring(s) break and/or some part of the plastic push button mechanism breaks and I'll order a replacement. Actually, I thought my original had broken when it wouldn't eject any discs, but came to find out that it was just the special right side push buttons of the Gateway DX4300 case that were wearing out. I recently installed a second optical drive.
