Windows Virtual PC problems:

  1. There is no "Shared Folders" option to allow us to access folders on the Host machine within the Client machine using drive letters (E:\ etc.). We have several programs that I need to test and I need to access files on the E:\ drive, etc. Note that the Host folders that you see "D on " is not what I need. I need access via a drive letter. I've tried mapping a network drive and access that way is incredibly slow.
  2. Microphone recording not enabled (in the Client running Win XP, or 7, and probably Vista) *if Integration Features are enable*d. You can test this with Sound Recorder. It simply does not show the Record button if integration features are enabled. If I disable them then it appears
  3. Drag and Drop (from Host to Client) does not work. And (IIRC) Copy and Paste works only to the Desktop of the client.
  4. Integration Features do not work unless you log in (to the Client) using the same User Name and Password as an account on the Host machine.
  5. Virtual PC does not remember the User Name and Password when logging into Win 7 (client) even when you have Logon Credentials saved. (In the Settings window).

Any ideas?

I've checked for newer versions of Virtual PC but all I can find are the old version (pre Win 7) and the Win 7 "XP Mode".

I have Win 7 set to autoupdates so I assume if there were a newer version it would have gotten it.
