open the guest addition drive, select the proper file executable (ie amp65 or x86), right click, choose property, at the compatibility tab, select run as vista compatible, and there you go. Have fun!

In the soon upcoming version of VirtualBox we added full support for Windows 7 guests (x86 and am64 version), including Shared Folders.
