Thank you very much for your help.

If I go to the tools menu in VM and open Sharing I can see original shared folder.  If I add Documents as a shared folder, for example, a new shared folder is created in the list, but I see no other signs of it. There is not an icon on my desktop or under my network connections.  If I click on My Computer, under network connections I can see my original shared folder, which appear as a network drive, but it has a red X through it.  If I click on it, it says, "an error occured while reconnecting Z: to \\vmware-host\Shared Folders VMware Shared Folders: The request is not supported.  This connection has not been restored."

As I mentioned earlier, it seems ot be a permission issue as my toobar is also gone.  Its like I'm logged in as a new user on the system.  However, there is only one user setup on the machine and I am logged in as that user.
