If you have them on EXACTLY the same network drives and paths on both PCs, it's really really simple: Just copy %appdata%\XnView\category.db to the second PC. Copy it back and forth when you update it, or get a syncronization program to do it for you. (%appdata% expands to C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming on Vista/7, or C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Application Data on 2k/XP.)

If they're not, you'd have to use a custom script to keep them in sync, which gets nasty pretty quickly.
