Thanks, I forgot about command and enter.

Hi again,
I re-read Erik's message, and Jacob's reply is actually what he was
asking
for -- finding out the path to an item. My answer of using command-
enter is
really the answer to a question he didn't ask, but which I find that
I use more
frequently than Command-I to get the path information, because often
I want
to go to location of the item that Spotlight has located (e.g., to
go to other
items in the same folder -- this could be locating an application,
but I want
to view the Readme file about it, etc.)
So, you can ignore my answer if you only need to find the location
of a file
found in spotlight --- Command-i will tell you the path. But if you
want to
go to the location of the item use Command-Enter. And, of course,
once
you're in that location (and on the selected file), you can simply use
Command-I to check the path.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi
To get the path of a file in spotlight, highlight the result and
press
command+i. The finder's get info window will open up and you can see
it from there.

Well, I know mine is called windows xp professional, so I just typed
windows xp in spotlite and up it popped. What I haven't figured out
is how to get spotlite to show the path to where something is.
I don't want that info all the time, but when I want it, I really
want it.
Best,
Erik

Listers I have a client that uses VM wear Fusion. His VM was set up
by a sighted person and the VM was stored in a location we can't
find. By default it goes into the user folder under Documents. hers
is not there. I ask because I set up there Time Machine and I
desperately want to exclude the virtual machine from being backed
up. Can anyone tell me how I can find the location of his virtual
machine?
