Windows 7 Virtual Box and Shared Folder workaround

Using VirtualBox 2.1.2 shared folder are accessable.

If you have difficulties to connect to the shared folder with the explorer, start an elevated command.com ( create a link to command.com on the desktop, right click it- and select run as administrator).
Execute:
net use X: \\vboxsvr\
net use X: /d

Afterwards you can map the share using explorer, it will not be found, if you search the network.

And after a reboot, you have to repeat the procedure.

I'm used to this, since I tried Vista in a VirtualBox.

Definitely it is not as seamless as with an XP Client.

I'm not going to name this issue s*o*l*v*e*d before the shared folder reconnects automaticly after reboot.

By the way my host is Vista Ultimate 32-bits
