Thanks. It works..
I wasnt doing it from My Network Places (I;m not very familiar with win networking).
I was doing the cmdline "net use x:" stuff, but for the whole "/home/user" that I had declared as shared, and not a specific subfolder of it..
Actually I still dont know why it doesnt take it as a whole but since its working for the subdirs's fine
Your entire home folder is a private folder, so naturally VB will avoid full access to it. Especially since your VMs are stored there by default (~/.VirtualBox) and you could seriously damage them if you modified any files while running a VM.
