It works for me whenever I installed Virtualbox after I installed the guest addon with Linux being the host. I’m not sure about Windows being host OS.

The mouse driver says virtualbox mouse, but I still don't have the ability to leave the guest window without using the control key. The screen resolution part works great.

What you can try is to use the shared folder option under settings in the virtualbox software to add the folder you want to share and then use the net use M: \\vboxsvr\sharedfolder command to assign a drive letter to that folder. By doing this, you don't have to issue the vboxmanage command. I’m not sure why.
