Shared folders

[U2XS]

I can't figure out why I am not seeing the shared folders when I run the virtual machine. I have tried this using Ubuntu as the Host OS and Windows XP as the Guest OS. I have also tried with Windows XP as the Host OS & as the Guest OS as well. Do I have to do anything in addition to setting up the Shared folders in the settings column?

Had the same problem. After you setup the shared folder, run your guest OS and then, on the guest,try mapping the drive using:

net use x: \\vboxsrv\<sharename>

Also:
See the VB Help file section: "4.6. Folder sharing"

Thanks, that did the trick!
