Others use one or more applications to provide this functionality for them.

Now there is an easier way. SyncToy is a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows XP that provides is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories...

I think it's a very nice tool, and you can't beat the fact that it's free. I reported this over at Pocket PC Thoughts back in August -- it's worth reading what the other readers have to say.
