On v 4, using XP Pro SP3 as guest, I have Shared Profile set and on the Shared Folders tab, I have selected Share Mac OS X folders with Windows/Home folder only, no user defined folders, and ticked Map folders to drive letters. In spite of wanting only my Home folder, Paralles maps all hard drives (local and networked) on my Mac desktop to drive letters in XP, as well as mapping . How can I prevent this, as opening My Computer takes a very long time? Also, whenever I restart XP, it doesn't actually restart, it shuts down. I have to manually start it again. Is there a solution to this? Thanks.
I suppose you can try disabling the Smartmount, you can check what it does via the following link: http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v4/docs/en/Parallels_Desktop_Users_Guide/27561.htm
