Mike, yes, the VM has to be running if you want to access specific apps running in the VM. What you would do to add that app to the Dock is:
1. Start VmWare. 2. Start the guest os, I gather windows in your case. 3. Put Fusion in Unity mode (the shortcut key is control+command+u or find it under the View menu). 4. Start whatever app you want in windows or guest os. 5. Go to the Dock. 6. Locate the application, which will indicate it is running. 7. Add the app as you would any Mac application. You can then reverse the process for taking the guest os ut of Unity mode. Now when you go to the Dock and launch the app, it will load VmWare for you and then the application. hth On Mar 20, 2009, at 5:56 PM, Mike wrote: > > Hi all: > > I just installed an evaluation of Vm Fusion and windows XP Home. > How can I access win apps on my doc with out actually running the > vurtual machine or do you have to run the vurtual machine in ord to > take advantage of installed win apps? > > Thanks: > > Mike > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
