Replicate/Sync a folder on Windows 7

I have a folder located at E:\My Work\code_library which I plan to store code snippets, etc..

I have a folder located at E:\Server\htdocs\code_library which is my Apache root directory

Is there a way that I can edit files at either location and have them replicate/stay in sync/ or BE the same files?

For organizational purposes, I would like to keep files located at E:\My Work\code_library this folder has a large amount of other folders, all work related, it is easy to copy/transport/keep on a thumb drive/etc... these files as they are all located in a convenient location TOGETHER

I then have to keep files at E:\Server\htdocs\code_library as well so I can access them in my web browser and have PHP and stuff work.

Any ideas?

Answer

Assuming you are comfortable with the command line, you can make a symbolic link in htdocs that points to E:\My Work\code_library.

Remove/rename the code_library directory in E:\Server\htdocs. Then open a command prompt, and CD to E:\Server\htdocs. Then make your symbolic link:

mklink /d code_library "E:\My Work\code_library"

I should mention that you can do this the other way. That is, leave the Apache folder code_library in place, and make E:\My Work\code_library a symbolic link that points to the Apache copy.
