Windows XP Mode more faster

[ik8ozv]

Sorry which shortcuts exactly?

 

[huisinro]

on your host, select Start > VMLite Workstation > VMLite XP Mode Applications, right click, choose Explore

it will open up a folder, you can delete "VMLite XP Mode Applications" folder

usually inside this folder:

C:\Users\your-user-id\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VMLite Workstation

OK Done it.
Now what to do?

 

[huisinro]

did you see shortcuts when you start vm? vmlite should recreate those links for you.

post a screenshot of the Start menu

 

[ik8ozv]

Yes,
here it is

 

[huisinro]

try to shutdown xp vm from inside, then restart it. Make sure your vm is completely shutdown, then restart.

can you check the settings? open vmlite workstation, see attached image. make sure virtual apps are enabled.

 

[ik8ozv]

This is my one how i see it

 

[huisinro]

did you shutdown the vm completely? by default, it's hibernated. So you need to go to Start menu in xp vm, click Shutdown, next time, when you start vm, the shortcut folder is supposed to be auto populated again.

Did you see any shortcut before? I mean immediately after the vm was first created.

 

[ik8ozv]

Yes i did shutdown completly the VM by start shutdown.
where should isee shortcut and which ones?

 

[huisinro]

There should be a lot of shortcuts under VMLite Workstation > VMLite XP Mode Applications

can you do this? inside xp mode vm, kill VMLiteGuestControl.exe, then start it again using command line.

You may want to re-create a new xp mode vm, and check if you see any shortcuts after creation. The shortcuts on host are same as you see inside vm.

 

[ik8ozv]

This is what i see in Windows 7

 

[huisinro]

yes, those shortcuts seem to be right. Now, you can try to add a shortcut to the Start menu inside xp vm, if the shortcut appears inside xp, it should appear on host Start menu too.

i use VirtualBox with VPCs and custom install windows 98se/XP SP3 and you can make it like another taskbar in the host windows and comes with its own drivers for more features! here is a sample screen shot from 2008

Hi there
are people STILL pushing vmlite
where's a WORKING link.
I don't think that having to register either is a good idea -- but so far I;ve NEVER seen a working link to this "product".

cheers
