Just found FreeFileSync :) Its great
I wanted to know, I want to create a batch file that would run be fore FFS
opens and asks the user for a computer name that they want to back up. And
then that batch file would go to \Documents and Settings\ and list all the
profiles that are in there, so that the user could choose them. Now my problem
is, would it be posible to some how add the path to FFS without having to type
it in? Is it saved in some file? So that when the user opens it the dirs will
be filled in and ready to be backed up. Thanks let me know if I am just to
crazy :)

Well, maybe let's call it very specific scenario ;)

Yes, all folders to be synced are within your *.ffs_batch file, that's an XML
that you can edit externally if you want.
But maybe another idea helps here: FreeFileSync also works with relative names
like "\source" or ".\source" as sync-directories just like
you would expect it from a console. Therefore you could specify "."
as source, then go into the directory you want to sync and execute the
*.ffs_batch from there.
