I found this in the Help files
Folder Synchronizer copies or moves files between two different folders. When would you want to use Folder Synchronizer? Here are some ideas:
· You have files that you edit on both your laptop computer and your desktop computer. Both machines need the latest version of those files. · Your share of the network is backed up every night. Your PC is backed up when you get around to it. Synchronize local data with the network share. · Back up selected files to a diskette or other external drive rather than using a dedicated backup utility.
No...that 'hide' function is Explorer....the shell.
Litestep has a module loaded [normally].....eg systray.dll [or similar] that will give you the loaded icons....however, as I said earlier...not all icons will necessarily show as some are dependent on the Explorer shell process....
