Assuming (since you did not tell us anything about it):
1) You are using VPC2007 on your real computer (host)
2) You are running Windows XP or Windows Vista on the host computer
3) You are runnong Windows XP on your guest (virtual machine)

Since you are not using a network as you say, your options are a bit
limited:

A) You can still create a small virtual network between the host PC
and the guest machine.

This is the most robust option but requires you to be a bit networking
aware. Since you say you are not we skip this....

B) You can use the VPC2007 feature "Shared folders"

This is how you do this:
- Make sure that you have the Virtual Machine Additions installed in
your guest. You can tell this if you are able to move the mouse
pointer easily between the guest and host and click on items in both
without using the keyboard to "release" the mouse to get back to the
host.
If this works then you are good, if not then you need to use the
Action menu on the guest window to install the additions.

- Create an empty folder in your host machine's guest, for example
C:\VPCShared

- In the VPC2007 console select the guest (which must be running) and
then click the Settings button.

- Go to the item "Shared folders" on the left

- Click the "Share folder" button on the right and browse to the
folder you created above. You can also set the checkbox to always
share this folder in the future.

- This folder will appear as a drive letter in the guest and you can
change the letter if you like. The default is Z:

- Click the OK button to close the settings window.

Now you can put files into the folder on the host, which can be read
from the guest in drive Z: and vice versa.

C) Use drag and drop with Windows Explorer in both guest and host.

Again this requires you to have installed the Virtual Machine
Additions on your guest. See above.
But having done this you can now open a Windows Explorer window in
both guest and host and navigate to some interesting folder in each.
Then you can grab a file with the mouse and drag it across to the
explorer window on the other and drop it. It will be copied over from
guest to host or host to guest depending on drag direction.
