Add Shared folder between host and guest (both Windows)

Hi,

I was trying to add a shared folder using vmrun.exe option addSharedFolder,  like

::start vm

vmrun -T ws -gu admin-gp admin start "c:\vm\xp.vmx"

::add a shared folder

vmrun -T ws addSharedFolder "c:\vm\xp.vmx" C:\shared_folder E:\backups

then, i went to guest os to look for the folder "shared_folder", but i wasnot able find it. so I wonder if I need to do something else before i can find it or i have to mapit as a network drive in guest.

Thanks,

K
