    Have you installed additions? Look for the icon that sort of looks like a jigsaw piece in VPC, and click on it.



    I just tried it on my machine, and drag and drop copies the files across.

    Right. When you first install a Windows system into VPC, it doesn't have the 'plug ins' needed to support drag & drop or other features.



    If you're running in full screen, switch to windowed mode. At the bottom of your window will be several icons, one of which is a puzzle peice. Click it, select "Install Additions" and let the installer run & reboot the virtual system. After that, you'll have the full features you want.
