Loading an application from a USB
device in Windows XP Mode.
Access Your Windows 7-based PC’s Network Connections
You can still access the Internet when you’re working in Windows XP Mode because the network connec-
tions of your Windows 7-based PC are always accessible. In addition, you can also connect your virtual
machine to your company network.
Share Files and Folders
The Clipboard is shared between physical and virtual machines, so you can copy and paste any infor-
mation you want between Windows XP and Windows 7 programs. And because your Windows 7 My
Documents folder appears on your virtual Windows XP desktop, you’ll always have easy access to any
les you need.
Access USB Devices
When you’re in Windows XP Mode, you can still use the external USB devices attached to your PC
running Windows 7. You can also easily access the host CD drive, and print on a local or network printer
from within your applications for Windows XP.
If a USB device does not appear in the My Computer window, it’s easy to make it available. Just navigate
to the USB drop-down menu that appears either in the upper-left hand corner of the Windows XP desk-
top window (Desktop Mode), or at the top of the desktop (Full-Screen Desktop Mode). Click the device’s
name to use it on the virtual machine. When you’re done, click it once more.
