Remarks

• It is not necessary to call VM::LoginInGuest() before calling this function.
• Shared folders are not supported for the following guest operating systems: Windows ME, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.x, and DOS.
• In this release, this function requires the virtual machine to be powered on with VMware Tools installed.
