    On my WHS,  have a Music share which I sync using Windows Live Sync to my laptop. Because WLS creates a .fslock file in the root of the folder and leaves it open at all times, WHS complains about there being File Conflicts. 

    How do I exclude the .fslock file from WHS's folder dupication logic?

    You can't. The best that you can do is to shut down Windows Live Sync for at least one full hour out of every 24. If a file is locked, Drive Extender can't work with it, and you will see a file conflict after 24 hours.
