VMWare allows multiple shared folders, just go to preferences for each virtual machine. This means that the folder is visible/read/write for both Mac and Win. This should be the same for Parallels. Jim Ault Las Vegas On 7/28/08 9:51 PM, Bill Vlahos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In Parallels you

In Parallels you can easily designate a Mac folder to be available to the VMs. It is very simple to do. I believe VMWare can do this but I have not tried it yet. Bill Vlahos On Jul 28, 2008, at 5:42 AM, Thierry wrote: And second question, which put this thread in On Topic. Can we share
