Windows 7: How do I access shared drive on host?

Post by RobHK »

On my Windows XP guest I can access shared drives via My Network Places/Entire Network/Virtual Box Shared folders.

But I can't find them at all in Windows 7. Anyone know where I should be looking?

Did you even read the manual? Or the VirtualBox FAQ? Even better, ever noticed the link when creating a post, that looks like this: Forum Posting Guide?

Go read, and try again. It's too easy. Locked. Reading and searching before asking is a pre.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
