After restoring the virtual machine Ubuntu, first, click on the virtual machine-install VMware Tools (Install vmware Tools), we will find the CD icon of VMware Tools on the Ubuntu system desktop.
Double-clicking on this file icon will reveal that there are two files, manifest.txt and vmwaretools-8.4.5-324285.tar.gz, OK, which means that our VMware tools download was successful.
We'll copy the vmwaretools-8.4.5-324285.tar.gz to/tmp.
Cd/tmp
Extract the Tar zxvf vmwaretools-8.4.5-324285.tar.gz.
Next, enter the CD Vmware-tools-distrib (into the corresponding folder after decompression), and then click Return,
Next, enter sudo./vmware-install.pl (Install the software), determine the back of the point of return, you will be prompted to enter the password (before you install Ubuntu set the password)
Then there will be constant prompts, but when you see the prompts, press ENTER, and the end will appear
Enjoy,

It's time to say that our VMware Tools are OK.
The second step is to share the folder
First, click on the virtual machine---settings, the virtual machine settings, select "Options", click on the shared folder----always enable---add, and then in order to operate on OK.
At this point you create the share folder below the local F disk, which is the folder that this computer shares with the virtual machine.
It's OK to be here, you enter the virtual machine, point application-attachment-terminal, enter the Linux operating interface,
then enter Cd/mnt/hgfs
Then enter the life of this LS, you will find directory under the directory share, indicating the success of sharing.
If/mnt/hgfs is not resolved under directory:
VMware8 Virtual Machine Install Ubuntu 11.10 Use share folders share directory
Power off the virtual machine (not paused), set the Share folders directory, and restart the virtual machine.
At this point the/mnt/hgfs directory is still empty.
Should sudo apt-get install open-vm-dkms, press the ENTER key all the way through.
Then sudo mount-t vmhgfs host://mnt/hgfs, so/mnt/hgfs has a shared directory with Windows.
To automatically mount the shared directory at each boot, add a row at the end of the/etc/init.d/open-vm-tools:
sudo mount-t vmhgfs. host://mnt/hgfs (host:/ Place 2 spaces)
