So I created a path to a shared folder in my host (Ubuntu) and Im trying to access it on the guess (Windows XP). I followed the instructions from the manual and it says that the folder your be in My Network Places but it doesnt show up. On Virtual box I right click on the little folder icon on the bottom and click on Shared Folders and it shows the path to my folder but I just can't get it to work!

Assuming you have installed the guest additions (in the guest):
You can create a share in the guest settings of the VBox program then start the guest and then open a command window and type the following to mount the share in Windows.
Replace sharename with the name you gave the share in VirtualBox. It will now show up in your file manager.
