FreeFileSync Forum

Well that explains my confusion. Thanks for the clarification and advice.

Yes, I watched it on the tutorials page and I just watched it again. At about 2:40 into the tutorial it shows dragging the realtimesync desktop icon into the startup folder which is what I did. Hence my confusion.

Did I misunderstand the video tutorial? I recall it showed realtimesync being dragged from the desktop to the startup folder. So what you are saying is I should instead copy the RealTime.ffs_real from the save folder to the startup? I did not see that file on my wife's laptop but I'll look again ...
