I have Virtual PC 7.0 installed on my 17" 1.67GHz PowerBook with 1.5GB of RAM. I installed Windows XP Pro and the Virtual Machine Additions. I then went to Share Folder Settings and checked all three options to automatically share local volumes, network volumes, and removable media. So I navigate through the Explorer file hierarchy to get to my iTunes Music folder.. when I double click on it, it crashes. Every single time. I'm assuming this is happening because I've got so many items in it (396 items according to Finder).

I've even tried pasting the full path into the Run command line to get there directly but it still crashes (i hit enter from the Run prompt and nothing appears except an error message that basically tells me it crashed). I've also tried placing a shortcut to the folder on the desktop but that didn't work either (didn't think it would but tried anyway).

Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
I did a little search and didnt find any other thread with this topic.
