Time to set up W7 in a VM again using virtual box. I seem to remember last time I did this that after adding my daughter and myself to the vbox user group and adding a desktop shortcut on both our desktops that after I had used w7 she couldn't access it and vice versa.
I had to keep changing the permission. Is there a better way to set it up so we can both jump straight into it from a desktop icon?

Create a group with you both in it, then give that group permissions to access the VM folder, that should do it. Failing that no idea, single user system here.

Thanks mate. Would separating a bit of hard drive space off and putting the vm in that help at all? She is a limited user.

As long as both users have access to both the VM group & the folder it should work.
If you have full rights to her home folder and put the VM in there that maybe another way to try it.
