    Hi all,

    So got myself a new macbook (OSX Mavericks), and along with the move setup windows 8 via bootcamp on my bootcamp partition... This is mainly for games... Now for smaller windows only software, I use Parallels desktop 9... In Parallels i've got a virtual machine setup looking at my bootcamp so save duplication...

    Now i've encountered an issue in the windows 8 guest os... whenever i right click my desktop i lags, and it very very slow to bring up the context menu (originally noticed this looking to change to the next wallpaper in my rotation)...

    I searched the forums and did try a suggestion from an old post... unselecting "Share Mac applications with Windows" in Configure/Options/Applications

    Any thoughts on fixing this issue?
