[TC11.03] cannot access shared drive from within VirtualBox VM

[Hacker]

Perhaps it would be possible to use Process Monitor to check what Explorer does differently?

The problem is that I can't find a way to distinguish "\\Vboxsvr\share" from a real share, and the errors indicate that it is a real share which can't be accessed. I could add a check for the name "Vboxsvr", but then it would cause problems for users who name a server "Vboxsvr".

Maybe not the most elegant way, but under the circumstances, it would solve the problem. What if that solution was disabled by default and the user had to go to the INI and manually set a flag (i.e. Vboxsvr_Shares_Workaround=1)?

No, I would prefer a solution which works directly.
