Cross posting is not allowed other post deleted.
net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename -p
x=drive letter
sharename=name you gave the share
See users manual Guest additions -> shared folders
The only thing extra is the -p that makes it persistent.

Re: fixing letter of shared directory
What about deleting the temporary partition created for the same shared partition with another partition letter other than F:
What I mean I found two occurrences for the 2 partition
shared on 'vboxsrv' (E:)
shared on 'vboxsrv' (F:)

Re: fixing letter of shared directory
Remove the auto-mount. (Do not delete the share from within the guest) You will need to reboot the guest at least once.
