FWIW: I re-installed the 2.2.4 Guest Addtions (GA) over the top of the 3.0 GA and still had the same problem. - Thinking that do so without first uninstalling 3.0 GA might be a problem, I uninstalled the GA (Control Panel/Add Remove Programs), rebooted and checked; paste option is now available in the guest Windows Explorer. - I then reinstalled the 2.2.4 GA (remember this is VirtualBox 3.0), rebooted the guest (Win2KPro). No luck, the paste function is again no longer available in WE. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
