How to keep documents isolated?

I just bought a Macbook Pro and am attempting to run Windows XP on it.

I like to keep my Mac desktop clean, with nothing on it but the

harddrive icon, but when I created a folder in WIndows, it appeared on

my Mac as well. I don't know if that was supposed to happen or if I

selected something during setup to make it happen. If it was

something that I chose, is there any way I can undo it so that nothing

bleeds from my virtual machine onto my Mac desktop? I remember coming

to a part where I was asked if I wanted to share my home folder or

mirror it and I did the latter.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I've been a PC user my whole life

and am still trying to figure all this out. I'd appreciate any advice

anyone could give me.

Just un-mirror whatever folders you chose to mirror in the target Virtual Machine's Settings.
