    I tried to open a pdf file from an explorer window that is open to a drive (i.e. 'W' drive) mapped in windows to a host folder.

    The result is that Adobe Reader complains and says it can't open the file.

    I open the file in OS X no prob. I also open the file fine when I access the folder directly from the 'my network connections\parallels shared folders' \\.psf\<rest of path>.

    If I drag the file from the explorer window of the mapped drive to the guest desktop I can then also open the file no problem.

    Anyone have an idea of what's up?
