If the share does not show in the network section of the XP file manager you will need to map the share as so:
net use x: \\vboxsvr\<name you gave the share> -p
It's all in the manual Section 4.7. Folder sharing of the newest version of VBox.
net use x: \\vboxsvr\<name you gave the share> -p
It's all in the manual Section 4.7. Folder sharing of the newest version of VBox.

Did you remember to install the Guest Additions? VirtualBox shared folders will not work without them, though a standard network share will.VinoBob wrote:I use win7, and i chose a shared folder in Virtual box, but i cant find it in my virtualized Xp. On what path should it be in the Xp?
