  2. where can i find the guest additions file ?is that a separate file to down load also ty

  3. Super Tutorial, 15 month later it helps me a lot. Short and easy to follow. Tried since yesterday to setup the shared folders between my host and my virtual machine Windows 10. Thanks to your Tut I find out what I am doing wrong and missed to do. Now it works like a charme.

  4. Windows XP doesn’t have a network tab in “file explorer”

    Edit: I don’t know where to look for the shared folder

  5. Thank you a lot 🙂 My idea is playing old video games and this shared folder will really help me 🙂

  6. Thank you, this tutorial has been a huge help. I have been trying to fix the drag and drop feature between my two VM's but to no avail.

  7. Professor thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial!! I have tried for days to get this to work with no success. Watched countless tutorials and NOT ONE mentioned the CD Virtualbox guest additions file that needed to be raninstalled!!!
    Again thanks for making this awesome tutorial!! BD

  8. No way to do this in the regular version (not guest)? I tried all the steps but it did not work.

  9. I can’t find the shared folder on my guest windows xp 😭😭 please help where is it?

  10. Unfortunately did not work for me. I have guest additions installed. I enabled the networking. I pressed F5. Nothing. I should add that Clipboard sharing doesn't work for me either…so maybe something is screwed up with my install.

  11. Thanks It worked well. Many thanks !!!!. And you presented it very beautifully. Kudos dear !!!
