You're welcome Sphred.
Yeah, if it was a VHD that you created within Windows Virtual PC, then you could of just moved the VHD to the SSD, and changed the "Hard Disk 1" location in the virtual machine's settings to the new location of the VHD.

I like to play around with things from CNET and other places. Can I do that here and know that if I mess something up I can just delete and reinstall? This was why I wanted it as a sandbox of sorts.

Hello Sphred,
Sure, you would need to leave Windows Virtual PC installed, but you can uninstall Windows XP Mode and reinstall it and possibly Windows XP Mode Update to have a fresh Windows XP Mode again. It's not secured like a true sandbox though since Windows XP Mode does integrate some with your installed Windows 7. For example, being able to have shortcuts of installed program in Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 to run as if they were running in Windows XP Mode.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanx I figured that since it was integrated, but it's nice to hear it from someone who knows. Will have to keep sandboxie for the funny stuff I guess.

How can I run XP Mode without being a local admin on the host (physical) PC

Hello BoxterDuke,
You would have to have the administrator right click on the Windows XP Mode shortcut in your Start Menu, and Allow your user account at least Read & execute or above permissions to be able to.
Hope this helps,

I have XP Mode working; I have a HTPC, the frontend software that I have been using for a long time, is no longer supported. I was able to load it in the xp mode and is working except for 1 big detail. I have a button that when depressed starts media player classic, problem is I have it set to start the mpc in windows 7 pro 64bit. IT starts no problem but it starts inside xp mode which of course will not run. I need to have mpc start in win 7. I tried mapping the C drive but that did not work either. The program still starts inside xp mode. Is there a way to start a program from xp mode desktop but run on the win 7 side? I use 2 monitors 1 for the frontend software 2nd for viewing.
Any Help is greatly appreciated...............
Jerry
