Have you updated the VPC Extras? I believe you have to do this every time you install a new OS. Once this is done, restart your virtual machine and Shared Folders should be enabled.

I have the extras installed in WinXP Home on my VPC, but I can't change preferences related to the extras (shared folders, etc) unless the PC is actually running.

If you still can't change the prefs when the PC is running, you probably haven't installed the extras. To install them, click on the rightmost icon (should look like an extension, I think) on the bottom of the PC's window (in window mode, obviously).
