How to use Virstalbox to share files with Linux and Windows, and to move the mouse in and out Virtualbox freely without click Ctrl key, herewith what I have done to achieve both.

1, download ‘VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.12.iso‘

2, in RH Linux of Virtualbox, access the iso file and install VBOXADDITIONS.
