  1. Left click on the Start Button.
  2. Type "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines\" (without the quotes) into the Search programs and files Field.
  3. Press the Enter Button on your keyboard.

    enter

  4. Right click on the "Windows XP Mode.vsv" file and left click on the "Delete" Option.

    delete

  5. Left click on the Yes Button to complete the process.
