    Good morning,
    I really enjoy the new crystal mode that is available and have been using that for both XP and 7. The only thing that is a drag is the content of the application folders that were placed on the dock when I 1st went to crystal. I love the folders being there, but I hate that I cannot figure out how to create more shortcuts in those folders. In particular I want my shortcuts for the various Active Directory tools in there.

    So, how does one go about creating/adding new shortcuts in the "Windows 7 Applications" and "Windows XP Applications" folders that are placed on the dock when 1st moving to crystal?

    Heya,
    Was hoping that someone would have insight on this one, but that's alright..it's how it works out sometimes.

    If anyone does figure it out I would be very happy to hear about it.

    Good afternoon,
    It looks like I have almost got this question answered; however, there is a small issue that I cannot seem to figure out. Using Windows 7, I created a new shortcut to C:\Windows\system32\dsa.msc which is the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. I then took that shortcut and I placed it in the folder "Windows 7 Applications." This is the folder that lives on the dock in Crystal mode...command-click of course opens this folder in Finder which is where I dropped the shortcut.

    The shortcut shows up now and that is great; however, when I click the shortcut it starts up my Windows XP VM every single time. I didn't even have XP loaded/on when I made the shortcut so I am not sure where this association is coming from.

    Any insights are welcome.
    -Joe
