Hello -- I was just setting up shared folders for my guest XP system

What I discovered is that each host directed added is mapped to a drive letter --

With VMWARE all the host (shared) directories are under one "parent directory" so that mapping this one dir get to all
the host dirs

Is there a way to do this with virturalbox?

I tried a hack, which seemed to work -- I created a dir on the host (vbox) and then
inside that dir, I created junction point to the dirs I wanted in the guest

Thanks

You can access your host's shared folders withint the guest XP by typing in "Run" or in the address bar of a window, or setting up a shortcut, to \\yourhost'sname or \\host.ip.add.ress (note the two backslashes). All the shared folders will appear in one new window.
If you're getting drive letters for each shared folder, and you want them to all be in the one widow instead of drive letters, you'll just undo whatever you did so far to make the drive letters show up, and just use the \\ method instead.
