How do I work shared files?
My host is mac and guest is windows.

On my virtual machine under "shared folders" I have a folder from my host selected.
And I installed (VBoxGeustAdditions.iso) on my Guest.
It detects that I've installed it and the mouse has changed. I don't need to click on the window and press command to toggle between the 2 mouses anymore.

How do I access my shared files from the Virtual Machine?
Thanks by the way for answering my last post VB forums!
And thanks in advance for this one :)

The answer is already in the Manual and can be found if you searched the forums, as we ask in the Forum Posting Guide.
You need to map the path to a drive letter, using net use x: \\vboxsvr\<sharename> -p, where sharename is the name you gave the shared folder.
