Their Windows needed to be manually resized. Also, virtual apps don’t want to play along with the Windows 7 Snap feature. In multi-monitor setups, the virtual application only lives on the primary monitor. Seamless Mode isn’t completely seamless there are couple issues with it. XP Mode lets you do things like run different versions of Internet Explorer on one PC. If the app you want to virtualize doesn’t automatically create a Start menu shortcut, or the app is already included with Windows (Internet Explorer 6.0 for example), you simply need to create a shortcut for it in Desktop Mode under c:documents and settingsall usersstart menu and the app will appear on the host start menu under Windows XP Mode Applications. If you don’t find the default start menu location to be convenient, you can move the shortcut to any location a traditional shortcut can be placed. Apps run this way are called virtual applications. When the app is launched from the host OS, XP launches in the background and the app appears as if it were running natively in Windows 7. The app you just installed can then be found on the host PC’s Start menu under All Programs, Windows Virtual PC, Windows XP Mode Applications. To use Seamless Mode, you first install an app under Desktop Mode, then log out of and close the virtual machine. XP Mode apps can be launched from the Start menu in Seamless mode.Where XP Mode really shines is with Seamless Mode, which lets you launch XP apps straight from your Windows 7 menus.
