Had to trash a corrupted VPC 7.0.1 disk image (with Win XP Pro as OS
after it was recently "updated" by McAfee) and was able to restore the
entire image from a back-up. The restored disk works perfectly, but can
only be accessed from the File-Open command as it does not appear in
the Virtual PC List. This is a working work-around, and I'm not really
interested in re-creating the entire installation process again and
installing software, etc. But is there an easy way to get it back on
the List?

To populate the Virtual PC List, VPC looks for a virtual machine or an
alias to a virtual machine in the Users\Documents\Virtual PC List
folder. Quit VPC. Place your backup in that folder and then start VPC.
