Hi there
I have the following extra drives showing on my intel Imac, which I don't think where there when I installed Parallels.
I am using Windows xp on OS 10.4.11. I may have changed something to make the following now appear I do not know?
My Hard drive looks like this:-
My computer
Floppy
Local Disk C:
Dvd Drive
Cd Drive
Network Drive (X) This one - whey are they appearing now when they did not appear on installation? I don't think?
Network drive (Y) This one
.Mac on '.psf' (Z) and This one
Shared documents
Noddies documents
Am I able to ask what the Network and Mac ones mean. I think the .Mac is the sharing between Parallels and the OS system but I do not know what the others are. I have not networked the system that I know of.
I have profiles for:-
Administration
Noddie
I had to make a seperate one for myself as the Admin one became corrupted.
Initially 'My Pictures' which was used to be part of 'My documents' is now showing in Noddie's Documents.
So I have
My Documents - finishing at My Music - No longer with My Pictures in it
Shared Documents - My Documents off this also and a repeat of what is in 'My Documents' main.
Noddies Documents - with My Pictures etc off this.
I have not moved any of the folders so why would they suddenly appear somewhere else other than the original
location.
I also have under the items listed above:-
My Network Place
Entire Network
.Mac on .psf
My Web sites on MSN - which I never use.
As you can see I am a little confused about why:-
(A) have all the double ups of my documents
and
(b) why do I have the networking items that are listed.
(c) Is it because I have 'shared' or mapping in use.
I can drag and drop files which I have always done, and by changing any of the above would that interfer with these capabilities.
In general I do not know how to share files with the 2 operating systems the main feature I use is the printing
capabilities and I even have difficulty getting this to work.
Hope someone might be kind enough to explain some of the above questions for me and send me on my way
to fully understand what is going on and even help with this if possible.
Regards
