Create a directory in windows for that, let's say d:\Share Then you go in VirtualBox, click on the virtual machine name and in the menu "Machine/Preferences". Here you find shared directories where you can add d:\Share. In ubuntu now, you need to mount the shared disk. For this, you can create a mount point: $ mkdir /mnt/Share then add the following line to /etc/fstab: Share /mnt/Share vboxsf defaults 0 0 > and how to make the Ubuntu screen larger.

When the virtual machine is running, click in the menu "Devices" (in French Périphériques...) then Install host additions. This will mount a virtual CD that you then can find in /media/cdrom. Open a terminal and type: $ cd /media/cdrom $ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run type you password, wait a while. When finished, unmount the virtual CD: type: $ cd to go back to your home directory. Then right click on the CD icon on the desktop and "unmount". Then in "Device" menu: eject optical disk. Then you can restart your virtual machine. Next time when you change your window size, the desktop will adapt itself to the new size.
