VMware Workstation Drag and Drop Files

Today at a customer I learned something new. When you run VMware workstation you don't need a share to copy files.
Just open the explorer on the guest machine and drag the files from your local machine.
Worked fine for my current VMware workstation 7.1.2. Host OS is Win7 64bit and guest is running Win XP SP3 with the current VMware tools.

I always mapped drives or created a VMware share. This is a lot easier and quicker.

Thanks Rainer for this tip!
