Hi everyone,

I am running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on my iMac, and I have Windows 7 Home Basic running in VirtualBox 4.0.8 I have never been able to set up shared folders in VirtualBox, but this time I REALLY need to have a shared folder. I want to set it up as a shared connection between my Mac's "public folder" and my Windows 7 VM. I also want to put a shortcut to the connection on my windows desktop so I don't have to go digging for it every time. How do I do this? Thanks much for any help you can give me!

Have you read and followed the manual? What do you get when you try it? Are the Guest Additions installed? How did you share the folder? Give some more information.

Well I don't even know where to start :( But I will read the manual first, I didn't know there was one.
