    I've selected the shared profile option to map "My Pictures" to "Pictures", but the mapping is incorrect when I open the My Documents folder in Windows XP. (My Documents maps correctly - just not music and pictures).

    It should be: \\.PSF\.Home\pictures

    but it is: \\.PSF\.Home\Documents\My Pictures

    and of course there are no pictures there...

    Any idea how to change it?

    lastly - any idea how to get rid of the dialog box that says "this page has an unpsecified security risk" when I click on the My Documents folder shortcut on the Windows desktop.

    all help welcomed

    Hi^

    Just do the following:

    1. Open VM configuration editor then select Shared Profile option
    2. In the Shared Profile disable Shared Profile
    3. Login in Windows. Dialog window about relogin appears. Click Ok.
    4. Open VM configuration editor then select Shared Profile option
    5. Enable Shared Profile option.
    6. Dialog window about relogin appears. Click Ok.

    It should reset the settings and setup the proper ones.
