Parallel D8 super annoying trackpad unhide bar for Windows8!!!.......

[seanpiano]

the new Parallel Desktop 8 for Win8 on MacBook Pro is so great!.... EXCEPT when you type normally, your palm would constantly hit or brush on MacBook's right side of the trackpad, which imediately activate the side bar of Win8, which is super annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyway of disable this feature??????? As it is really useless becz to do that you can simply move your mouse to the top right corner. By having this feature turned on, you just CANNOT type fast and normal without touching the side of the trackpad!!!!!!

Come on, this is really bad but important!

this post explains how to disable edge gestures

Hi,

If you wish to disable this feature, please do the following:
Locate your Virtual Machine .pvm file (usually in ~/Documents/Parallels). Right click and show package content.
Open config.pvs file and search for the following node:

<Gestures Enabled_patch="1" dyn_lists="">
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</Gestures>

Change this node from <Enabled>1</Enabled> to <Enabled>0</Enabled> and save the config.pvs file.

We are considering to make this as a GUI option in upcoming updates.

Thanks,
Alex
