    Hi guys, I need your help in configuring parallels: I've just installed Windows 8.1 and all works great, but I don't want to share all files and discs between the two systems. I tried to enabled the "Isolate" feature, but doing that I can't copy-paste from one system to another. So, my question is: I'm interesting only in the copy-paste feature. I'd like to disable all other sharing stuff. Can you help me doing this configuration? Thank you.

    Hi Matteo,
    With your VM selected but not turned on select Action-Configure-Options-Sharing - Shared Folders - None - uncheck everything else
    Next - Applications - uncheck Share Windows application with Mac
    Next - Advanced-Copy & Paste check -Share Mac clipboard and Preserve text formatting
    Hopefully this should do what you would like.
