VMware XP home host folder sharing

Does any one know a fix?

Is the folder or your user account on the host computer marked as private?
You can copy/paste files from the V-machine to the host too you know. Install the VMware Tools. Top | Vm

my user account on windows is admin and the folders are marked share on network.
I can share folders sometimes, but then ubuntu starts asking me for password over and over.Waynezo-Windows 7 Pro/Core i7 920
