1728	Slow performance of shared folders XP guest	cornbread		Upgraded from 1.5.4 to 1.6.2 a couple days ago.\r\n\r\nI have been running a script that automatically runs "net use x: \\\\vboxsvr\\Documents" on XP Pro SP2 boot.\r\n\r\nI upgraded guest additions and after upgrade this script did not work at all and I could not mount it using the net use command.\r\n\r\nI then reinstalled guest additions again and the net use command sprang back into action properly mounting the volume.\r\n\r\nNext I found that using the share was excruciatingly slow! Up to 15 seconds to open the mounted drive and another 30-45 seconds to open a small excel document. \r\n\r\nDisabled antivirus and turned off the firewall etc. still slow.\r\n\r\nI then found that after sharing the folder (smb) on my host and using net use x: \\\\10.0.2.2\\Documents I was back at full speed. I would not like to do this however due to security concerns.\r\n\r\nKeep up the great work.	defect	reopened	major	shared folders	VirtualBox 2.2.2				Windows	other
