Not all applications like UNC paths (== the one you gave). Even cmd.exe 
in windows needs a drive letter.

Mapping a driveletter in windows can be done on several ways, no need 
for 3rd party tools. I'll give you 2 of them.

1) in the exporer, navigate to \\VBOXSVR (in the address bar), when the 
shares are listed, right click a share and choose "map network drive"

2) From the tools menu, choose "map network drive"
