Does Parallels Desktop use MacFuse?

If does, what version?

 

Please clarify which Parallels Desktop version you use to get prompt answer. Also describe which issue is connected with MacFuse.
Please note, that in most cases MacFuse issues are resolved either by MacFuse reinstallation or by updating MacFuse to latest version. You can download it here:

Have upgraded to version 4 of Parallels. The Question comes up with installation of other software. Missing Sync for Windows appears to use MacFuse. In trying to install it a warning comes up that I already have a newer version, but it does not specify a newer version of what. The first thing I thought of is that Parallels could be using MacFuse and may have installed a newer version that what Missing Sync is trying to install.

 

Yes, Parallels Desktop 4.0 uses Mac Fuse to mount its .hdd files to Mac desktop and perform action on files between Mac OS and Guest OS.

 

Is there a way to turn off the mounting of these disks to the desktop. I still want to mount the disks, I just don't want the icons to appear on the desktop.

 

Configure -Shared - Uncheck Mount Virtual Disks to mac OS Desktop

 

Thanks. I did that and they are still appearing. I even shutdown and restarted. They show up every time.

I have unchecked everything in the Configure -> Shared Folders

Any advice?

 

Could you please post here screenshot for Shared Folders node?

 

Here it is:

 

Please shutdown mac , and start again, and check

 

Hi John,
I am still getting the icons on the desktop. I shutdown as requested.

 

Please submit report from Parallels Desktop - Help menu -selecting Report a Problem, and post here report ID

 

John,
The report ID is 22149. Thanks for looking into this.

 

He apparently is complaining about the Boot camp partition appearing on his desktop when Parallels isn't running? If that's the case that has nothing to do with Parallels only with OS X.

 

Hi Specimen,
Actually, i am not. I have several computers on my network, including a NAS device, with several shares. Whenever I open a share, regardless of which device it comes from, that share appears on my desktop. I never had this issue before installing Parallels. I never had a previous version of Parallels installed. This is the first version I installed on this MAC.

 

Ops, please uncheck Smart Mount in Configure, and check
Let me know if problem is still there

 

Same thing. Even after reboot. Sent another report. ID # 22451

 

FOUND IT!

It was not a problem with Parallels at all. It was a preference setting in Finder. Does Parallels change this by default? I never had that happen 'till I installed Parallels.

Anyway ... Thanks for all your help.

BTW - Lovin life with MAC OS AND Windows ... Thanks to Parallels!

Cheers
