VPC on 64 Bit Vista Deleting Saved State

[Sparks79]

I have 6 Virual machines Saved in a Folder on My Network. Sometimes during my
Testing of Operating Systems when I Load One using Say Windows XP and Save
State, The next time I try to Use it with Vista 64/32 bit, VPC can't
recognise it's Saved State and won't load it. My Question is, is there some
means of Deleting a Saved State without having to go to another machine on
the network and loading it in it's previous O/S and Deleting it's saved state.
Here's one clasic example; On an XP machine on the Network with VPC + SP1, I
load Say Windows ME VPC and Close it Saving it's State, Then I go to a Vista
Machine and Try and Load it, but it can't recognise it's saved state, so I
have to go back to the XP machine Load it and Delete it's Saved State I
realise that you can just right click it and delete the saved state. But lets
say that that XP machine is not available for some reason, on the Vista
Machine I have no way of loading it because in it's current state it can't
recognise it. It would be nice if there was some simple little Utility that
one could load and go to the Virtual Machine from any PC on the Network and
Delete it's saved state without having to Install VPC or Run it.

Most likely permissions related. The Saved State file is saved with
different permissions and the Vista box can't open it.

There was another post with identical situation in the last day or so,
that poster disabled UAC and was able to work (verifying that it was a
permission issue). You should be able to modify the permissions or
run-as-administrator and get it to work though.
