Visual Studio 2010 in VM and Network Shares

I'm using Windows 7, Vmware 7.1

I'm having problems with Visual Studio 2010 in a Virtual machine when the project is on a Network Share.

I working with C++ MFC and ATL projects (both types of projects within the same solution)

When the solution is local to the VM then everythig is working great but I really want the VS projects to be stored on the host machine.

1) When I create the share myself and map a drive to it within the VM then VS can open and save the solutions/projects without any problems

However the problem here is that the Class View in VS is blank.

2) If I use VM Shared Folders and again map a drive in VM then VS can open the solutions/projects and this time Class View shows correctly.

However the proble here is that I can not save any items - VS shows a dialog error of "argumentIn"

Any ideas how to fix 1 or 2 or both ?
