Hello,
Another issue I didn't succeed to solve (even by doing research on Google this time 
):
I'm trying to share a folder between Windows XP (Host) and Fedora 18 (Guest). I'm using VMWare Player 5.0.2 build-1031769 and I properly installed the right version of VMWare Tools.
I even tried to reinstall it three times and followed all the recommended steps here, but it still doesn't work: There is no folder "hgfs" created in the folder "mnt". There is no error messages when I enable the option and add a new shared folder in the Virtual Machine Settings.
For now, I'm using a USB flash drive to make my transfert, but it'd prefer a proper shared folder on my HDD...
Could you please help me again?
Thank a lot!
