When I open Explorer under Virtual PC (Windows XP Home), I cannot find
hardly any of my files & folders that I can access thru Mac Finder.
I'm new to Virtual PC, and find it hard to start when I cannot even
find my files. I hope this is an easy simple problem to resolve.
Thanx for any help on this.

Check Help for VM (Virtual Machine) Additions. This should enable you to
set up the Mac drive as the Z: drive in VPC, from where it can be
browsed with Explorer. Also make sure that Shared Folders in Settings is
ticked for local volumes.

I recommend you set up a data drive (d: or e: drive in VPC) for the
reverse capability - browsing VPC (Windows) files from Mac Finder. See
