Re: XP/Vbox/Win 8.1

I think less is more, while you can do this, maybe you should limit
yourself to a smaller share, like C:\XY on the host. Otherwise you could
end up messing up your entire host system, and eventually having to
reinstall it. And another thing, for security reasons, limit XP net use
to updating the guest, i.e. XP and installed programs. This goes for any
legacy OS used for running legacy applications.
