I have two virtual machines, one Windows 7 and the other is Windows XP. If I launch a .exe file from Finder, it always tries to run it in my Windows 7 virtual machine. I'd like to be able to launch it in Windows XP (which is what I use most often). Is there a setting for this?
 
Hi, the solution is simple:
1. Go to your Windows XP Configuration
2. Choose Options tab
3. Go to Shared Applications
4. Enable SmartSelect if it is not enabled yet
5. Click on the button "SmartSelect Associations"
6. Choose "Windows Explorer" application in the drop-down list
7. Locate .exe file extension in the extensions list and set to use "Windows Application" for it
