# This script is used to mount the Type 2 Hypervisor VMWare Workstation's "shared folder" to /media/hgfs/Shared
# The shared folder that gets mapped is the one configured by right clicking your VM in VMWare Worksations library > Going to Settings > Options tab > View the Shared Folder Setting
#
# NOTE: I made this on a Kali machine. If you wish to remove the absolute paths to the below commands issue the below command I have commented out which will update the file for working with different Linux Distros
