Share VirtualPC 7 images between users on one Mac

What about the Save State? Will the 2nd User reload the Save State of User 1?

If so, then that would mean that every user must be aware that the saved state/data will be at everybody else's fingertips...

If not, then every user should always keep in mind to shut down the PC completely...

I did the "share thing" under VP 6 and the save state problem was existent there. You can share the image (and I do) but the save state remains personal. Found no way under VPC 6 to do this. I would love to see if this is changed in VP 7 before upgrading!

Since VPC6 the saved states are part of the drive image package file and are completely portable with the drive image (one can duplicate the drive image and start up from the last use state).

If the alias of the drive image inside the PC List folder is copied to the desired second PC List folder it will start right up from the last saved state.
