Use Shared Folders, or standard networking.

Re: Make directory visible to VPC

How do I use "shared folders?" I think I knew that much, but don't know how
to do it.

Re: Make directory visible to VPC

Hi,

Assuming that you have the VPC Additions installed on the guest, there's
a small icon on the bottom left of the guest window. Right-click on
that, and browse to whatever dir on the host you want to share to the guest.

1) Make sure you have installed the VM Additions

2) Launch the Virtual PC help file and do a search for Shared Folders
