Have you ever wanted to keep notes synchronized between multiple computers?  Well, Live Mesh maybe just what you are looking for.  With Live Mesh you have the ability to share and synchronize files with different computers and devices.  As an example, you might have shopping lists, to do lists, reminders, project notes, class notes, etc. on your laptop.  Live Mesh can help you keep those notes up to date on your work computer and home computer.

Of course, a USB flash drive can be used to carry your notes from computer to computer.  Linked Notes is compatible with U3 and PortableApps.com.  That works great, and does not require an internet connection.  On the other hand, Live Mesh will facilitate the synchronization for you in the background and automatically.

Here is a brief summary of how to setup Linked Notes to run in a Mesh folder.  If your notes contain private or sensitive information, I suggest you encrypt those note pages first.  Although Live Mesh uses SSL, encrypting your private notes is an important safeguard against accidental disclosure out in the cloud. 

Visit http://www.mesh.com, and sign in with your Windows Live Id.

Click on the Add Device icon to setup one of your computers.  This will download the Live Mesh client software.

Using your file explorer, navigate to your Linked Notes data folder.  By default, the data folder will be located in c:\ProgramData on Vista and Windows 7, and c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data in Windows XP.  Right-click on the LinkedNotes folder and select Add Folder to Live Mesh.

Any changes to your note pages will now propagate to the Live Mesh remote desktop.  All you need to do now is add another computer to your Mesh ring. When you add another computer, just map this LinkedNotes mesh folder to the same location as on the original computer.  The Linked Notes application will need to be installed on both computers.
