Ok found it ! The shared folders are mapped on the local network !

Wow, VMware is a truly impressive piece ! 
It runs Win XP as fast as the real thing, and believe it or not, maybe
actually faster ! I have not started XP for months, but  I am sure it
has never been as fast as what I see with WMware.
And it works better too ! The real Win XP hangs for a good 30 seconds
before I can do anything, but with VWmware, as soon as I see the XP
desktop, I can start to use it, no delay !
I could install Office XP, and Word and Excel load at the speed of
light !

How comes that a virtual XP runs faster than the real thing ???

I don't know, all I can say is :

1) Linux  Rocks
2) Ubuntu Rocks
3) WMware Rocks 

The more I use Linux, the more it impresses me, and the more I love
it :o)
