Shared folders in XP virtualbox guest

I use virtualbox. My host OS is Ubuntu and the guest one is Windows XP. I want to share a folder between these two OS. But I don't know how. I've added the folder on 'Devices->Shared Folders' window but I don't know how to access it from Windows .

Would you help me?

Thank you.

In Windows, go to "Computer", "Network", then choose "VBOXSRV". You will see your shared folder there. If not, then maybe you did not make the folder permanent and rebooted Windows in the meanwhile.

This is described in the manual here. The command to map a drive in the XP guest is:

net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename

Or you can map a drive using the windows tools. The 'server' name is always vboxsvr
