Vista - Sharing folders on XP and DOS (guest)

I vaguely remember I have to add a line to autoexec.bat
subst ....
Can't remember exactly.
Can anyone refresh my mind?
Thanks

Hello Steve and FACE
Thanks for your information.
I will jog it down.
Thanks
Jack

I put the line C:\addition\fshare.exe in my autoexec.bat
But there is an error which says
ERROR: Folder Sharing is not supported on this host
I shut down DOS, then find that shared folders option is dimmed.
I've tried to install the Addition stuff within the guest to no avail. What
extra steps do I need to perform in order to get folders shared.
Thanks in advance
Jack

I know now.
I forgot VMADD386.sys
Thanks
Jack

You need to click on the "Floppy" dropdown at the top of the window frame
and then click on "Capture Floppy Disk Image".

Then,

You will be given a screen tot choose the image and navigate as necessary
to the .vfd file called "Dos Virtual Machine Additions.vfd" -- click on
that file twice (open it) and it will mount that file in your virtual
floppy drive.

Now,

In the DOS virtual machine,

at the C:\ prompt, key "A:\Dosadd and enter.

A textual splash screen will let you know that the .bat is
operating.........
That .bat will change your autoexec.bat and config.sys files and add
directories and files or whatever, as necessary...........

Then you need to restart the VM and establish a shared folder.
(When it is not running it will show "shared folders" as "not installed".)

(report if any problems.......it's early :-))


Cheers!

Hey just a heads up, I wanted to let everyone know that Xio Dibin speaks English. I hope I posted in the right location?
