MacOS LION HOST, Win7 Guest, Crash on Shared Folders

I have MacOS LION as host, and guest OS is Windows 7. When I enable SHARED FOLDERS (Share the MacOS Folders into the Guest OS Windows 7), VB crashes after a while when starting to browse the shared folders and can only be restarted after turning SHARED FOLDERS OFF.
How can that be solved?
Thanx.

Have you tried creating a single folder -- say alongside your VM folders -- and designating only that one to be shared?
My impression was that's how this is meant to work -- not sharing the entire Mac folder tree; that's what works for me.
Several different VMs all look to the same shared folder; anything I want them to have off the Mac I can drop in there.
Warning, I'm an utter beginner at this and have problems of my own I'm clueless about. Just sayin' -- good luck.

Regardless, your advice is good.
