When I try to access my shared folders from a windows explorer window, my Windows 7 os is acting like it can't access my shared folders. What happens is I select the file location (under "Network") and usually the shared folders appear there. Now I select 'Network' - and nothing happens.
From the bottom of my windows os, I can see that the shared folders appear as though they should be available (see screen shot). What is happening?? Thanks.

Re: Shared Folders aren't working
Did you install the guest additions (in the guest)?

Re: Shared Folders aren't working
Yes, it's been working fine all along - I've been able to access these folders before, been able to print or connect a usb to the guest, etc. One thing I noticed in trying to trouble shoot this, and I don't know if it matters, there are two guest additions that show up in my list of devices. If I select one or the other, nothing changes.
