Starting SyncTool in Resident Mode

To limit the amount of files that require synchronizing at logon and logoff, synchronize changes during the session. To do this, configure SyncTool to run in resident mode.

To start SyncTool in resident mode, it must be started with the -Resident argument after a user logs on:

FlexSyncTool.exe -Resident

By default, in resident mode SyncTool runs in the background, with no user interface. To display the user interface, provide the optional -Tray argument.

The recommended way of starting SyncTool in resident mode is by creating a shortcut in the Startup folder of the Windows Start Menu. Shortcuts in this folder are automatically launched when Windows Explorer starts.
