Windows 2000 in a VM

Ran Windows 2000 in a VM. Have had problems for a while with shared folders, appears hung or very slow. Found a workaround on the Internet that appears to work [no hanging] for me….Map Network Drive. From “Windows Explorer” select Tools/Map Network Drive to associate Shared folder with a drive letter. You then can access the shared folder by a drive letter. If you click “Make Permanent” when creating the Shared Folder…Windows will come up with the drive mapped. This is a great solution as I had resorted to copying files from Linux/Windows to a USB flash drive to get around the problem
