hmm ... so, when you run windows explorer, does it appear as a
removable drive? Or, as another hard disk? Or, as a network resource?

I've run vmware workstation 5.x, 5.5 and now 6.x on everything from
suse 10 to SLED 10 --

Sure wish I could get this to work ... as it is, each time I need to
do something with a windows tool, I then have to store the file in the
vm. Drag and drop and copy/paste of the files works ... but it seems
ridiculous to have to have 2 versions, or to have to constantly copy
back and forth to maintain the correct version in both places ...
