Well it has been a while since I have written anything out here. I found this information to be very helpful so I thought I would share it. About a week ago I noticed that I could not see my Virtual PC Console, you know the main interface that shows the thubnails of the various virtual PCs you have running or saved. After doing a little Google search I found the problem. Virtual PC saves it's last window position in a file called Options.XML. For some reason it thought it should be at position 4996495494466 or something strange like that. What do you do? Simply open the options.xml file and edit it:
- Make sure Virtual PC is not running!
- Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<Your ID>\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual PC (This folder is hidden. Also, the path is C:\Users in Vista)
- Open the options.xml file in notepad or your favorite XML editor
- Change the following lines:
<console>
<height type="integer">0</height>
<left_position type="integer">821</left_position>
<top_position type="integer">0</top_position>
<visible type="boolean">true</visible>
<width type="integer">359</width>
</console>
Just save the Document and your are good!
