I've been trying to figure this out, but I haven't found anything good yet.

I've tried using Vista's SyncCenter, but either I'm retarded or vista's retarded because I can't get it to work

are there any programs where i can tell it to sync/not sync a specific file within a folder? I'm looking to sync firefox/thunderbird but I dont' want to sync cookies or anything like that

tried it, but it's missing or something? Checked the options and it's enabled, but when i try to do it, i don't see it. I even tried following a screenshot tutorial, but it seems the "make available offline" is missing from my context menu. i'm prolly fucking shit up tho... i have no clue how to use vista
 
Offline files is a feature offered by a server, you can't use it unless the server end supports it.

In either case, Offline files won't give you what you're looking for.

If you want your Firefox/Thunderbird to work the same amongst those two computers you need a piece of software that can sync specific locations and exclude certain files.

Offline Files won't give you that option.

k thanks i'll look into it
 
I'm really enjoying dropbox for that. I can sync items with my laptop while I'm at school and retrieve files that are on my computer back at home, select what files you want to sync, all that type of stuff, it works really well.
