-not have to be logged in
-not requiring a password on the user account

Hi Nick,
You may know this, but you can run it in the background -- do a search for command line options on Synctoy.
I use Windows scheduler to run it when I'm not logged on; but it does require a password for the user account.
Hope that helps!
