Mount vstor2-mntapi20-shared volume to Windows folder

Hello,

using some examples provided by vmware, i'm able to mount a remote vmdk disk to Windows Drive Letter but i can't find a way to mount it to a Windows folder..

Tried with:

- SetVolumeMountPoint

     Where can i find the GUID of vstor2-mntapi20-shared symLink device?

- DefineDosDevice

     No success mounting to a folder

Is there a way to mount the vstor2 device to a folder?

Thanks,
