Hello everybody!

This tutorial has the goal to solve the big issue to share a folder between a host WinXP and a guest Mint Julia operating system. The procedure is very simple and I hope it could be helpful for many users of the community.

1. On WinXP modify the property of the folder you want to share and enable the sharing settings;
2. Install the VMware tools;
3. Open the terminal window on Mint;
4. Type in # modprobe vmhgfs;
5. Go to the following directory: cd /mnt/hgfs and you will find there the shared folder.
