The guest additions are included in the Virtual Box rpm as an iso file. They end up in /usr/share/virtualbox/ as VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. They have to be installed in the guest. Start the virtual machine and then select Devices/Install Guest Additions... in the VM menu. Or point the VM's CD/DVD Device to the iso file, open it in the Windows Explorer and then run VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe from there. After installation they show up in the Windows Task Bar.
