Max, Thanks for the corrections. I didn't realize server had full screen. I'll have to look into that. And no shared folders is easy enough to get around with WinSCP to your host OS (or setup a samba server). I have a Linux workstation and a MacBook Pro here in the office. I used server for WinXP "access" until I got the Mac (now using Parallels Desktop over there). -Shawn Max H. wrote: > Shawn K.
