| Hi it is pretty simple. Start VB go to Settings -> Shared Folders. On the right side you have an icon 'Add a new shared folder'. Later on windows you can access it over //vboxsvr/name_of_your_folder. |

| Just type \\vboxsvr\YourSharedFolderName in explorer. Or go over 'My Network Places' -> 'Entire Network' -> 'VirtualBox Shared Folders'. |
