You have to make sure that you save your documents in the vMwareHost folder where your document folder should be. If you try and save your files in another document folder which is not under the VMHost folder it will not work. Make sure that in your VMWARE settings, you specify which folder is shared such as downloads documents Etc. If you have your VM set up as seemless then that's much better. If you have it set up as as not seemless then it's just the same, I can't see any difference. Is there?
