Hello all

I am a novice OpenFoam user, used it a couple of times running on linux VMs in the past and am familiar with how to navigate around files in linux environment. I recently tried to run the newly released OpenFOAM in Windows by ESI, downloaded from here:
http://www.openfoam.com/releases/install-windows.php

First of all, installation wasn't smooth but thanks to the post by pgh here:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...m-windows.html

I manage to install successfully. Now, my question is, I am confused with the whole workingDir scene in this version of OpenFoam. I understand it is running OF in another virtual machine which explains why I cannot navigate the files in my windows, but I cannot seem to understand how to 'copy tutorial files to workingDir', which is stated from the user guide document. Can someone please help me on getting started with running OF?

Running Windows 7 64bit, plenty of RAM and hard drive space, should not have any issues here, hardware virtualization and the powershell thing is all good, installation successful. Thank you very much.
