Hey guys,
I am running Win7 Pro and frequently have to use "Windows XP Mode" from Windows Virtual PC.
I was trying to find the actual executable to start XP Mode but was unsuccessful, as it runs in VMWare.
Has anyone accomplished the task of opening "Windows XP Mode" from within RainMeter?
Thanks,
Pujo

Re: WIndows XP Mode
Thanks for the reply however, that was the first thing I tried.
With VMWare it doesn't work like that.
I can get the VM window open, but fails to load XP.
Thanks bro.

Sorry, I came across this only now, searching for other... 
I don't know if you have already found a solution, I had the same problem and after many experiments and searches, I came to this:
"C:\Users\USERNAME\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vmcx"
