Hiya,
I'm trying to install FSL under Windows XP and I found the same problem as
email below with the shared folders.
I've followed the set up instructions and changed the shared folders option
to "always enabled", in my case the option stays enabled after rebooting but
the shared folder still doesn't appear under mnt/hgfs. I've also tried
editing manually the config file as suggested below but still doesn't work.
Any other suggestions to solve this problem will be very appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Susana

Shared folders, it comes up as disabled. However, if I change it to always
enabled for the C-drive, it won't save this and following restarts defaults
to the disabled option.
