Drag & Drop - cut & Paste

I am running Vista Home edition as host and XP in VPC.

I cannot drag and drop files, nor can I copy and paste.

I need to press the right Alt key to move between the VPC window and the
host window.

In which case, you haven't installed the Additions - they're on the menu of
the VPC window in which the VM is running...

You need install the VPC Additions -- in the virtual machine's
console, "Action" menu, "Install or Update Virtual Machine Additions",
then follow the prompts in the VM.
