Thanks for trying to be helpful, but please lets try to focus on VirtualBox problems on this site.

If we allowed Windows tutorials such as "how to run Excel in VirtualBox" (answer: same as any other PC), or "How to assign a drive letter to a shared folder" (answer: same as any other PC), then this site would become horribly bloated, and genuinely useful info would be harder to find. Let's stick to providing information on VirtualBox, and on PC tasks which are made different by running in a VM. We don't need tutorials on Windows tasks which work the same in a VM as in a physical PC.

I don't know why they had to be rude about it but, in any case, thank you, HeavyMX, for answering the question. I needed that.
