Theresa I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. Are you talking two=20=
separate computers where VPC is installed on each and where you copied=20=
the drive C file from one to the other? If that is the case then the=20
c: drives would be the same but physically separate. The file acts as=20=
a virtual hard drive so whatever was on the original is on the copy. I=20=
have done this in the past but only with OS 9 when moving from one=20
computer to another.
If you are talking VPC in OS X then I have a funny feeling that each=20
User might have their own VPC preference file but that those=20
preferences would not include installed programs on the c: drive image=20=
file which is shared by all users of VPC.

You could try deleting a program you no longer use and see what=20
happens; or install a new one and see what happens (then delete it!)
