    I've disabled application sharing between my Window VM and macOS host. From macOS, I am no longer seeing Windows applications in Spotlight, which is exactly what I want. But on Windows, macOS applications are still showing up in the start menu (they don't do anything). How do I remove them?

    Along the same lines, how do I remove the "open in Finder" context menu option? It makes no sense when I boot directly into Bootcamp, so I want it gone.

    Thanks!

    Oh geeze. I found another really annoying "integration"... The downloads, documents, and pictures folders are mapped to my macOS files. I really don't want this. How do I remove that "feature?"
     
  3. Hi, just for check. Did you isolate your VM from Mac or just disable the "sharing application" option?
