The newest release seems to be the easiest to control USB
connectivity. You have to choose in advance what can be accessed by
the virtual system. If you do not select all or individual usb drives,
by name, they will not pick them up by the virtual system.

Make sure you installed the additional tools shared folders and will
not work with out it.

I like this new release you do not have to escape the mouse to use it
on the host system any more.
