I am not quite clear on what the OP is asking here, and believe you may 
have answered the wrong question

And the answer to this is, not directly, but it can easily be made to.
Virtualbox will allow you to map a linux disk  as a *networked* windows 
drive.

I keep no data of any consequence in my Windows VM. Its all under linux. 
And indeed on a different machine to the one running Windows in a VM.

At one time I ran SMB on my server and mounted that on windows, but I 
susbequently ditched that because I had no native windows or macintosh 
machines - I went all linux, and now I mount the server via a mount of a 
local drive that is in fact an NFS mount of the server!

Sounds clunky, but works really well. NFS integrates machines seamlessly 
in a trusted environment,  saturates the link satisfactorily, and as far 
as the windows VM knows it might as well be part of the local disk.

IIRC (and its ages since I played with it), Virtual Box takes the user 
it is initiated by and runs with those permissions. So there is no 
problem in giving access to system folders since you wont have 
permission to tamper with anything therein.

I just peeked into my config, and what i had set up - so long ago I had 
forgotten - is /home/me as a shared drive in virtual box, so I cant 
actually see the host machine root directory at all.

This appears in Virtual box as \\vboxsvr\...

And in fact I think will work even if you disable networking in the Vbox 
XP client.

So its all very well thought out and logical. You set up the Vm and 
control what access it has to the host machine, and use windows 
networking to access the data.
