Stack hacks!
Let's introduce hackssign. This application (and its associated driver) are here to allow
users to assign drive letter to their VMware/VBox shared folders.
It relies on two components: a client to communicate the instructions and a driver to execute such instructions.
Do not execute this application nor its driver outside ReactOS. There are barely no security checks nor sanety checks.
You could do substantial damages.
So, let's go back to shared folders state in ReactOS nowadays...
VMware
------
Configure your shared folders
Install VMware Tools
Reboot
From here, you can access your share from cmd or explorer with UNC path (for instance: \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\ReactOS)
Go to C:\ReactOS\bin (or whatever, depending on your setup)
Execute hackssign assign z ReactOS vmware (for instance)
z is the letter you want to give, and ReactOS is the name of your share (you gave it in VMware configuration)
You're done, you can access your share with the Z drive letter
VirtualBox
----------
Configure your shared folders
Install VBox Guest Additions
Reboot
Go to C:\ReactOS\bin (or whatever, depending on your setup)
Execute rosvboxmgmt start
From here, you can access your share from cmd or explorer with UNC path (for instance: \\vboxsvr\ReactOS)
Execute hackssign assign z ReactOS virtualbox (for instance)
z is the letter you want to give, and ReactOS is the name of your share (you gave it in VMware configuration)
You're done, you can access your share with the Z drive letter
Note that you can delete an assignement by performing a hackssign delete z (or whatever drive you want to remove).
In such case, the share remains available with its UNC path.

Add the "rosvboxmgmt" tool.
It's purpose is to allow to interact with the VBoxSF driver as we don't have working MPR yet.
In order to have UNC path available, all you need to do so far is rosvboxmgmt start. All the rest isn't mandatory.
