    Virtual PC drag-and-drop file transfer to Windows XP?

    I read somewhere, i think it was here, that you can drag files from your mac, to the virtual windows XP you are running through Virtual PC. I can't figure out how to do this and would love if some one could point me in the right direction.

    Airport , PC, & college network

    Its a MAC address, such as 00:03:93:E3:6F:93. And our network doesn't discriminate between wired and wireless, because it all has to be hardwired anyway.
