Today I installed VBox extensions and added myself to vboxusers. I can now
access my USB devices but I have to say using the command line to add users is
not very intuitive. I could not find a graphical interface like windows to do
the same task.

I also installed Synaptic and allowed rollback to the classic desktop. The new
desktop I am having trouble getting comfortable with.

I shared all the folders I want to mount in XP under VBox but when I right click
on the share icon on the lower right of VBox it tells me I need to "Install
Guest Additions from the Devices menu", I am lost I cannot find it???
