Clicking on "My Documents" took me to the documents I had synchronized off my laptop, not to the local folder on the login machine. I modified a few files from "My Documents." When I later returned to my sync laptop, I was presented with a list of new and modified files and was able to sync these changes to their folders.
Suspicious as I am, I opened the control panel on the login machine to see if an additional, perhaps temporary, user had been created. Impressively, Migo performed no modifications to the machine or its settings; all desktop shortcuts to user-specific data were directed at the Migo device rather than the local machine.
Sync Specifics
I ran Outlook 2003 on my login machine, and this posed a problem: Migo supports only Oulook 2000 and 2002. Forward Solutions expects to offer support for Outlook 2003 soon.
I worked around the difficulty by opening my PST (Outlook's personal folder files) on Migo within Outlook 2003 and configuring my Outlook 2003 to use Migo as its data store. I tried Migo on a different XP machine in the lab with Outlook 2000, and it worked as expected. Still not satisfied, I tried the same process on a Windows 2000 Pro machine and was pleased to discover no difference in functionality.
