I've got two computers used for different purpose. I want to share the feeds between both the computers so I can see what posts I've read on both computers. I found out that the feeds was saved in folder "c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Feeds". I want to take this folder and put it on a file share both computers could access and then change the registry (like when you change the favourites path) so both computers should read the same feed share.
I searched the registry and I searched the internet for a solution. I got this e-mail from the MS team RSS blog.
"Unfortunately, there is no way to move the location of the feed store.
In addition, the store is not designed to be shared between computers in the manner you describe. The only way to use it on multiple computers is to synchronize between them."
I hope that this would be changed in the future. I would be perfect if I could share one feed structure for multiple computers or I could have an USB memory with my feeds so I could share them for work and home.
I think you could use RoboCopy but I haven't tested that but I have tested to use SyncToy to synchronize the feeds between the two computers. Download SyncToy 1.4 here. Then first back up your feed folder, specify both folders in SyncToy and Synchronize. It's easy and it worked for me. Now I don't have to read the post twice and if I add a feed in one computer... Not perfect but good enought.
