I'd like to note that the VM Additions don't always work as expected. This might vary depending on the guest operating system, but I once installed them and had to recreate the machine in question all over again. That was Win 98 SE if my memory serves, in Virtual PC 2004.

Funny that you should mention it, because the exact same thing happened to me, with Windows 98 SE too. This tutorial was made with that Windows version as well. If it was a bug let's hope they've ironed it out by now, the current version of VPC is 2007 SP1. Third party software may interfere, at work some drivers from National Instruments broke my XP Mode. The convenience of the additions is too great to do without them. People can always start over if something goes wrong. You can always make a backup of the virtual hard disk, and it will allow you in the future to roll your VM back to that previous state.
