Not that I recall. I've had this setup in place for quite a while, now.
Of course, you have to configure the shared folders in the VM
configuration dialog _and_ enable them. But beyond just doing those
ordinary things, there's nothing special I recall having to do.

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

No, it works fine for me. This is on a SuSE Linux 10.0 release. If I'm
not mistaken, this feature is not available in VMware Server (the $free
version). I have VMware Workstation (currently running version 5—I'm
waiting for a time to upgrade to version 6 that will maximize the
negative impact of any issues that might arise during the upgrade; it's
something I have a knack for...).

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 ...
