Well, I've never tried the VMLite...so I don't know how that product works.
I do know with the new VMWare products that you can simply cut and paste files from the host to the guest. No drive mappings needed whatsoever. It just works. It is part of the vmware tools...but they auto load with the guest VM's.
I find that aside from installing a few apps that I might have on my host in the guest...that I rarely want to access the host from the guest. My VM's are usually pretty task specific and for testing...rather than having long term usage. So, doing the "shared folder" thing works just fine.
Or I just put the files on a USB key and move them that way. Or via an FTP...sometimes that's faster than grabbing my USB key or sharing the drive.
Edit: I'm off to bed for the night. I'll catch up on this thread tomorrow.
