Installing Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 on Virtual PC Running on Windows 7 Enterprise Edition?

The catch to this is that I cannot install the integration components until the service pack is installed. Therefore, how do I move the SP3 .exe file to my Windows 7 desktop to my Virtual PC. I was advised to enable NAT under networking in the Virtual PC settings. What are my next steps? How do I see the file from my virtual pc so I can install it? That question is my first priority.
My second, if allowed in this forum, is how to change my mouse settings so I can utilize the mouse pointer outside the virtual machine as well as in. I believe I clicked okay by accident when this setting came up and I would like to know how to reverse that.
Thank you very much.

Just download SP3 from here

This is intended for IT pros but works as a download to a single computer when needed. You may safely disregard the advisory.

That should happen automatically when you install the intergration components.
