I was running OS 10.6.1, Vista and Fusion 2.0.6, and had \\vmware-host\z: as a mapped network drive visible (which was the same location as the 'vmware shared folder' icon provided by Fusion on my windows desktop)

after upgrading to Fusion 3.0 and W7, the 'vmware shared folder' desktop icon still works fine...BUT the mapped drive is no longer accessible ("vmware-host is not accessible") ... this is causing major issues, since many of my windows apps were set up to use the shared Documents folder (quicken, turbotax, etc).

I tried the suggestion to uninstall/re-install vmware tools, but I get an error message during the uninstall that the vmware-host drive is no longer available!! ("error 1606: could not access network location \\vmaware-host\shared folders\documents")

I tried a fresh install of Fusion 3.0, followed by a fresh install of Vista (everything was working fine to this point), and then installed the upgrade to W7, and the same problem re-appeared.

I also tried both NAT and Bridged modes for the vmware network adapter with no affect.

It's interesting that I can still dbl click the "vmware shared folder' desktop icon and go to the shared folder... and then in the left hand window pane under 'network' the "vmware-host" is listed but if I click on it I get the "vmware-host is not accessible" error message...!!

please help!
