I'm pretty sure the sharing is working because 1) I was able to install Quicken and 2) Using the Notepad program in the Windows XP VM, I was able to open an Ini file in the Quicken data library. Unfortunately, no further explanation was provided. However, when I ran the Quicken and navigated to the 'shared' folder where the data was stored and tried to open the file, I receive a 'Quicken' error message, 'Can't Open File'. I installed Guest Additions, set the clipboard and drag & drop to bidirectional, and set up two 'shared' folders with full access: The 'Documents' folder on the Win 10 machine, where the Quicken data is stored, and the folder where I keep my installation software. Hard disk type was VDI, dynamically allocated, 10 gig, In the Storage Settings I checked the box indicating that I was using a Solid State Drive. Created a VM and installed Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bit), 2048 MB memory. I was able to do this on my old Win 7 box using 'XP Mode' but there is no XP Mode in Win 10 however, I've just discovered VirtualBox (and it's so much better)! I have a new Dell laptop running Win 10 Pro and would like to use VirtualBox to run my 'legacy' checkbook program, Quicken for Windows (UBS version). I'm new to VirtualBox and have just run into a problem which I hope someone here can help me with.
