Looking for script sample to set / define the "Default Virtual Machine".

This var appears in other scripts as "default_vm".

Any help much appreciated!

You are somewhat incorrect as the static default location is still pointed to \My Documents\My Virtual Machines.

To change this open the default location, Right Click in the area where you would see the Virtual Machines settings, open Properties, choose the Location tab, and modify your default location.

Anything that was saved in the previous default location can be moved automatically. The system will prompt to do so.

Any suggestions for 2007 Virtual PC's that are on external harddrives?

Depending upon what other drives are plugged in, my largest drive is sometimes e: sometimes f: etc.

I also want to connect this external drive to other machine upon occasion and run the VPC there, so all virtual pc files need to be on the external, not on the host. How can this be done?

What about the location for undo disks? Also why is My Virtual Machines not a special folder so its location can be changed in the registry? Lots of times my system drive has very little space left because of Virtual machine undo disks automatically going there.
