Let's see.  You're a first-time poster on this forum, and you choose to 
attack Lawrence, who was giving you a succinct reference to a possible 
solution to your problem.

So how does mentioning a program that could directly solve your problem 
constitute immature and unhelpful response?

Have you checked out any of the several rsync implementations on 
Windows?  Some require cygwin, but there are a couple that would seem 
not to.  Maybe try   http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp  
or http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650

There are several reasons why any particular one of these may not be 
appropriate for your needs, but being stuck on Windows isn't really one 
of them.
