Preventing file sharing?

Hi,

I use Parallels for one program only, and that is all I plan to use it for. The program does not need access to any data files on OS X, nor does OS X need access to what's in my VM. In other words, want to keep the two completely separate and not allow any shared folder or anything like that.

How do I do this, or is it setup like that by default?

Ok thanks, I just turned it off.

One thing though...I changed the Administrator password from a simply blank password, and disabled the screensaver. Now XP hangs when it boots up, I guess because there is no way for me to enter my password.

WTF...how do I get around that?

Re-install, or try booting with F8 and see if there are any options available that will get you past this. It's a problem I've not seen before.

On the original subject, if you are serious about isolating the host and the guest you might also wish to disable clipboard sharing.

This is a pretty retarded program...the documentation TELLS YOU to change the admin password, and a screensaver in a VM is pointless when you can just minimize it in the host OS.

Wow, I finally got it when I repeatedly tapped the letter 'a' while windows booting up, then I was able to get Windows to tell me I entered the wrong password so I'd have a chance.

Brilliant software engineering, I'm glad I'm still on my 15 day trial....

It may be of note here that for all "new" installs of 3188, the VM is created in a different path than before. It's now created in the Home Folder>Documents>Parallels path instead of the Home Folder>Library>Parallels
