Limited Windows XP accounts and drag-copying files fails

Hi all,

I log into Windows XP using a limited account rather than
my administrator account (since this is very good
computer usage practice!) and while this works well apart
from a couple of minor glitches, there is this one which
is probably the most annoying: copying files to Windows
by dragging Finder icons to Virtual PC results in an
"unknown error (10)" from the Virtual PC application.

Logging as an administrator and doing the same thing works.

Any ideas on how this can be solved? It seems that Virtual
PC Additions is not too friendly with non-administrator
accounts! Another symptom which I found interesting is
that shared folders appear as devices which are labeled
"Disconnected Network Drive (Z:)", yet are completely
accessible from within the "My Computer" window!

I guess I am after a solution regarding permissions and
the Virtual PC Additions software. Any ideas?

BTW... who, unlike me, uses an administrator account to do
their everyday work under Windows? ;-)
