I'm not the developer that created this workaround. I would suggest that you email or comment the guy from the link in the article. That should take you to his site. Sorry. I have noticed that this workaround doesn't work directly in my Windows guest. The file names were too weird for Windows to handle. So; I have a shared drive setup to my linux box and I call it from there. It's a little slower, but it works. Try that. Hiya devolute,
