How do I access control panel in virtual pc?
I have Virtual PC installed and configured in my new workstation which is running Windows 7.
I need Virtual PC to run my old Office 2000 applications which I am still using, pending buying Office 2010 when it is released next summer.
My problem is that all my date fields in my existing Excel spreadsheets are displaying incorrectly. I know that the standard way of correcting this (under XP) is to go into Control Panel, Regional Settings, Set Date and Time, and set the correct short date format.
The issue in my new machine is that the regional settings and short date format are all correctly set in Control Panel in Windows 7. The issue must therefore be that these settings are incorrect in the Virtual XP mode.
But I can't find how to get to Control Panel in the Virtual PC mode (and indeed I don't know if there is such a function!).
Can anyone help, or suggest a workaround?
Many thanks
Neil
