Access Linux (Host) folder from Windows 7 (Guest)

I am having trouble accessing a folder on my Linux Mint 14 host from inside a Windows 7 vm I just installed.

 

The  steps I have taken thus far have all been from the GUI. First I locate  the folder in Mint, right click on it and set it's sharing options. In  there I give full permission to anyone and everything to access and  change that folder. Not much more I can do in there.. The folder gets a  little icon on it to show that it is shared.

 

Now in the VM Win7 I  can got to Network places and see my Mint host. I can even see the  shared folder. But if I try to access it, I get a permissions error.   'you don't have permission. See system admin etc etc'...

 

I'm just not sure what else there is to do. Any ideas out there?
