Greetings.
You can set this up any time. You will probably want to copy
everything from the my documents folder to the documents folder once
you have them set the same. Other than that it works beautifully.
Now as to how I did it.
Windows key E to open windows explorer.
Arro up to my documents and press alt enter.
Press the browse button beside target and go to zdrive.
When you open the z drive you'll see that it is actually your mac drive.
Browse to users/account name/documents and prss enter.
Press OK.
Then copy the contents of c:\documents and settings\administrater\my
documents inside of windows vm and copy and past the contents of that
folder into your new mydocuments folder. Now all your documents from
both systems are in the same location and you can read and write them
from both OS.
Best,
Erik

How did you do that and do you have to do it before you start using
the VM's My Documents folder?

I would also add that it's possible, even practical to share files
between your mac and your windows vm using fusion.
When I installed windows and fusion, I reset my my documents folder
under windows to the documents folder in the home folder on my mac
account. So, they are both the same folder and I have access to
all the files under either OS. No need to copy back and forth to
use either os comfortably.
Best,

Hello. The difference between Fusion and boot camp is that if you
use Boot Camp, you would have to reboot whenever you want to use
Windows. However, with Fusion, you can have Windows and Mac OS X
running at the same time. If you're using Windows under Vmware
Fusion and you want to go back to Mac OS X, all you have to do is
hit the control+option+command keys together. No, you don't have
to install Windows every time. You just install it once as if it
was a regular machine. I almost forgot, you don't need sighted
assistance to install Windows under Vmware Fusion because it has a
setup assistant.

What's the difference, in accessibility, between Fusion and
Bootcamp.
I know one is a virtual machine and the other really installs
windows
or whatever os you're using. Which is better? If I were to use
Fusion, would I literally have to install Windows every time? I
highly doubt I could access files stored in Leopared using Fusion
because it's virtual, but I heard this is true with Bootcamp as
well.
But I've also heard of something called Parallel, which enables
you to
use both systems symultaniously and drag and drop from one to the
other. How accessible is that?
Thanks,
