How to share file on VirtualBox 2.2

Virtual box 2.2 will stop working, if you choose to share folder using VirtualBox Shared Folder function. This problem exist particularly on Windows Guest. Sun still have not come out with solution on this problem, so we have to trick it a little bit to able to exchange files between host and guest OS. In this case study I use VirtualBox 2.2 on Windows Vista Host. Using USB Devices Copy the file you want to your USB storage, and then close all windows. In VirtualBox 2.2, USB setting is enable by default. So what you have to do is click USB from setting of your Virtual Machine. Don't turn on virtual machine, because if you set the USB after you turn the machine on, it is likely you will get an error message. Click on plus button, and select USB storage device you want to take over by your Virtual Machine. That's it, simple and easy. Just one downside, the USB Storage Device will not detected anymore on your host. Means you have to disconnect USB from virtual machine before copy
