Yes, at least for windows guests. To do so, with the guest in question

  • Take a snapshot (just in case)
  • Start and log in to the guest
  • Run a registry editor (%SystemRoot%\regedit.exe) and edit the following values
    • Key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmhgfs\parameters
    • Server Name (with default value):
      Name: ServerName
      Type: REG_SZ
      Data: vmware-host
    • Share Name (with default value):
      Name: ShareName
      Type: REG_SZ
      Data: Shared Folder
  • In case, the key vmhgfs does not exist, check for hgfs instead.
  • Reboot and voilà!

Not sure about other guest OSes.
