822	Error handling when shared folder is missing or broken => Improved with 1.6.6	ronnystandtke		Here is a scenario where the error handling of VirtualBox is broken:\r\n1) add a shared folder to a virtual machine\r\n2) remove the "real" directory while vbox is not running\r\n3) restart VirtualBox\r\n\r\nThe user gets the following error message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)."\r\n\r\nFirst of all, the error message has absolutely nothing to do with the real problem (non-existance of a specified shared folder) and is very misleading.\r\n\r\nSecondly, a missing folder is no fatal situation, it should be possible for a user to recover from this situation without manually editing some obscure XML files.	defect	new	major	VM control	VirtualBox 1.6.4				other	other
