Sharing Folders Via Network Folder

Hello. I am new to Virtual PC. I have a new computer with Vista Home. One
software package that I depend on is not compatable. Software upgrade is
expensive. I know Virtual PC is not supported on Vista Home, but it works on
Vista Home.

I've installed Virtual PC and installed XP and the software. I installed
Virtual Additions but I cannot share the data file for the software which
file is on the host PC. I've read here that the share folder option is not
the best way to do this. I read something about using a network folder. What
is that and how do I use it in my circumstance?

Many thanks.

1. What about moving your data files to the VPC as well?

2. I had the same problem with some older programs that could not be
installed under Vista.
I succeeded nevertheless by using compatability mode.
For that you rightclick the .exe file of the program, go to properties
where you get that possibility.
You then have the choise to install as if in XP or even win98.

One you install XP on a vm you have two machines running different OSs.
The best way to share files between machines is to use network shares.

If you have never used file sharing, read the help files on file sharing
in the OS of the machine you want to share a file from.
