Q1: Type in the terminal (without quotes): "sudo rm -rf ". Then drag the file to the terminal window to see its path appear. Hit enter and the file will be deleted.

CAUTION: This deletes the file directly and does not put it into the trash so you won't be able to recover it.

If you talking about your apple display then the answer is yes and no. Apple has used in the past ADC a propiety interface. The latest batch if displays are now dvi so you can use those no problems. The older ones you will need a adv-dvi conveter.

When you install VPC you have some device drivers/programs that come with Virtual PC. Installing them (in VPC) will allow you to cut and paste between the two environments.

You need to setup the sharing of the modem or modify the network settings to go online with both. I'm going from memory on this one, since VPC doesn't work with my G5.

None of those questions belong in the Power Mac forum.
