    Library access in XP Mode


    I'm hoping that someone can help me because I'm beginning to feel frustrated with no end in sight. I didn't have any problems installing XP Mode. Moreover, I successfully installed a program that wouldn't work in Windows 7 (which the nefarious software manufacturer refused to patch!) and now works because I installed it in XP Mode.

    My problem (I'm hoping that there's a simple fix that I'm just missing) is that I cannot access any of my folders in the Library at all. Furthermore, I believe that I set all the folders that I'm trying to access to be "Shared."

    Please help!

    Access the real locations. Windows XP does not understand the concept that is Libraries.

    Thank you for replying, logicearth. Let me better state my problem - my wife is trying to use a (godawful) scrapbooking software called Creative Memories and when you're in XP Mode, you can get to the folders on the c: drive by going to "Other," BUT I cannot figure out how she can access the pictures via this software. When she attempts to import pictures into Creative Memories it is only showing the XP drive.

    Thank you in advance!
