    I have two folders on the Windows side that I need to be able to access on the Mac side for online backup purposes.

    I thought I created the shared folders correctly but they don't show up on the Mac side. This is an example of the path it created:
    /private/tmp/294/C/Users/Administrator/Documents/MyEQ7

    I have two shared folders set up in my original Parallels 3 install which are visible on the Mac side and their path looks like this:
    /Users/robinkaspar/Documents/transfer to windows

    Maybe the difference between these two folders is that the original ones were empty folders created to transfer files back and forth between the OS's. The folders I'm trying to create now contain data files for my Windows apps.

    In the configuration window for shared folders "Access Windows folders from Mac" is checked. "Share these Mac folders" is set to "none" by default.

    Can someone help?

    Thanks
    Robin
