Jon,
Glad you are having success. I have killed myself over this. I'm beginning
to think there's a flaw in my methodology (or lack of one).

Oh, makes some sense. Like the difference between an IP address and the
English language name. Only one step removed: \\tsclient is already a
sharename (or whatever the term is).

Me too. I have no desire for full screen.

I using the drive mapping I wrote about. Xy sees the host as K: and the
host sees Xy and X:
It's not good to be going into and out of seamless mode all the time. In
that vein, here's one trick I've found. Suppose you are in Xy, in seamless
mode, and you want to access something on the VM, like Control Panel,
maybe. You can shell to DOS and run, at a command prompt, explorer.exe.
That will give you the regular XP explorer window inside the Xy-only
session. Alternatively, shell to DOS and use the regular DOS commands to
get around in the VM's (hibernating) virtual hard drive.

On my system, Encoding and Decoding "works" but produces some wrong
characters--that's true both in XP Mode and in Parallels. May try it on
VMware Player next.
