I just got Windows seven RTM loaded up within a VirtualBox virtual surroundings and a single of your initial things I wished to complete was set up some shared folders. It had been effortless ample to select Products | Shared Folders from your VirtualBox menu, level on the folder on the host OS and give it a identify for your visitor OS to refer to it as, MySharedFolder for example. Build was a bit of cake but actually being able to see individuals shared folders in the guest was a distinct tale. I couldn’t uncover how you can make that happen from in the Windows 7 Windows Explorer (visitor OS) so I resorted to this command from a command prompt within the visitor OS:
net use h: \\vboxsvr\mysharedfolder
Obviously h: could be the name with the visitor OS drive I assigned, vboxsvr refers for the guest OS, and mysharedfolder could be the name I furnished when I set up the shared folder. Yes, use vboxsvr since the title of your guest OS no matter what the true visitor device title is. Following this command productively runs drive h: about the visitor OS factors on the shared folder around the host OS.
Anybody find out a means to complete this within the Windows Explorer in Windows 7?
Hope this helps.
Have each day. :-|
