Troubleshooting a software issue where we installed a program in XP mode and ran into a confusing problem.  Host is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Program needs to access a shared drive on the network and have no problem mapping that drive in the XP mode machine.  But cannot access that same drive from the Windows 7 host machine.  Shouldn't matter because running an application from 7 still uses the resources within the virtual machine right?  But why would I not be able to access that drive from the host machine?  Thought it might be a permission issue, but I have not changed permissions so why would the virtual PC have permission to access the drive but not the host machine?
