Now connect your laptop to the desktop PC, if you haven’t already. Windows XP copies the files into this special temporary holding tank. Now round up the icons of the documents you’ll work on when away from your main PC. (If you’re feeling inspired, rename it as you would any folder.) A new icon appears, called New Briefcase. To do so, right-click any spot on the desktop from the shortcut menu, choose New →Briefcase. To use the Briefcase, start by adding a briefcase icon on your desktop. If you learn to use the Briefcase, you’ll be less likely to lose track of which copies of your documents are the most current. In its way, the Briefcase is a form of backup program, but for a very specific purpose: It’s designed to help you keep your files straight when you transport them from desktop to laptop, or from home to work.
