BUT, you can create shared drives between the host and guest. In my case, ~/vm_shared is available to my Windows XP guest. When I use the Amazon downloader in XP, it puts its downloads in ~/vm_shared/music, although it sees it as "L:". So, you could put create a directory for your quicken files and make that directory available to the VM. -- -- Steve -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
