sharing files between both os

First, read the Parallels user guide. All of it. Really.

Then, search the Mac technical forum where this subject has been discussed extensively.

Then, if you still have questions, post them in the Mac technical forum.

how do i set up file sharing between mac and windows xp?
Click to expand...

parallels tools created short cuts on both OS desktops

path in MS IE 7

\\.psf\hw2\Aaaa_start_page2.htm


and in firefox 1.5.* in Mac OS

file:///Users/hughw36/Desktop/shared%20winxp%20mac%20os/Aaaa_start_page2.htm

I use the same browser home page for both systems
I created it myself and it has a silly name to make it easy to spot

/Aaaa_start_page2.htm

with quick links to all the web sites I use daily
and blogger.com dashboard functions for each of my blogs

I keep a copy as an attachment in a gmail to myself so i can use it from any computer in the world

I have renamed the folder on the mac OS desktop
/shared winxp mac os/


hw2 and hw1 are windows folders I created

with sub folders / directories
where I keep the files I am working on
eg
\\.psf\hw2\FTM extra back ups\bad ftm

another advantage of NEVER yes *NEVER* saving data on a VM

is if you make a new VM clone you have immediate access to the same data you worked on minutes ago

with Windows explorer you can get onto the Mac Desktop too
