How to mount other Windows drives/directories?

A: In the Ulteo Virtual Desktop Beta2, "C:" is already available. If you need to mount other drives, proceed to the following:

Assuming that you have already installed and run the virtual desktop successfully, if, for instance, you want to access ''D:\Pictures'':

• shutdown the virtual desktop
• go to ''C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ulteo\Shared''
• create a '''txt''' file called ''Pictures.txt''
• open it and write on only one line : D:\Pictures
• start the virtual desktop
