Frustratingly, after a recent update to Windows XP mode integration features, the availability of shared disks from the hosts has been impaired.

Does anyone know any kind of workaround or fix (excluding dropbox et al)?

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling as per http://www.sevenforums.com/virtualization/63710-refreshing-xp-mode.html#post568715

At one point restarting the machine appeared to have worked, but today again I am without access to my host.

Interestingly audio and copy and paste to and from the machine are working.
