Virtual PC

Not exactly axapta but "Microsoft Virual PC" (VPC) is a great tool used by me and many of my colleagues.

Please have a look at sysinternal great tool that can create a "VHD"-file (virtual harddrive) from a physical drive that is connected to a computer.

There is a bug in the most recent version regarding "dual monitor" setup.

The startupposition of the "main form" is not set to "monitor 0", this can result in a dissapering form if you like me are coding on a laptop.

I made a batchfile as a remedy, and i am sharing it here.

1. Download: http://www.codeplex.com/RxFind

2. Place it in the same dir as the batch file below, and execute.
