With a lot of GoG games, I can play just as easily on my laptop as I can on my desktop. The only problem is transferring save games.
Does anyone know of a program/utility that I can use to do one of the following?
Run a program on my flash drive that will compare specific files (even just the last modified date) and either copy said file to the drive (or overwrite the file with the one on the drive).
Do something like that, but over a network (Win7 homegroup, technically). Would actually prefer the former, but this works too (if Win7 has some feature for this).
If it helps, both my lappy and desktop run Win7 x64, so the path would be the same for both. I would just put the game itself on my flashdrive, but the problem with that is dealing with configuration settings and the like (my desktop's monitor has a much higher resolution than my lappy :p).
Thanks.

There are several open source and commercial utilities listed about halfway down this page that may be what you are looking for . . . =)
Microsoft made a freebie a while ago that might do exactly what you want - SyncToy
It works fine with Networks and drives. In fact I run it on my Old XP box to back up files to my linux Fileserver via the wireless.
It's no rsync, but it can synchronize files between two locations and has a number of options.
Hope that helps!
I use SyncToy. It's never given me any problems.
I use DirSync Directory Synchronizer on Windows Vista 32-bit. It isn't free, but it's one of the best imho....
I just write a batch file to copy any files that are different from source & destination
Thats if I need something big, otherwise I use a manual copy & paste
