Accessing Windows folder structure from Mac

Hi all,

Parallels 6 (Mac OS 10.6 host, WinXP guest)

I'm hoping this is basic question. I once had a shortcut from Finder (under Devices, I believe) that was called WinXP or something similar. Clicking that shortcut allowed me to browse the Windows file structure, copy/paste files, move files, etc. very easily.

That shortcut has disappeared. Trying to get it back so I can easily move files from the Mac OS to Windows (i.e. when saving an attachment from an email... being able to save it directly to a specific Windows folder.) The shortcut disappeared when I was running Parallels 5. I just upgraded to Parallels 6, but it did not bring back the icon.

Would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Kevin

 

MacFuse 2.1.7 (unofficial release) seemed to fix the issue I asked about. I'm now able to mount the Windows drive from the MacOS and browse its contents.
