    Initial configuration (Parallels 11.1.2 32408):
    • Share folders "None"
    • Custom folder: enabled, with a custom folder
    When I copy/paste a file from OSX to Windows VM, it re-enables the share folder "home folder only" option.
    I do not want this to be re activated. I want it to stay at "None"
    Note that in version 10.3.0 29227, you are able to copy/paste from OSX to Windows VM with the share folder option set to None (it does not revert to "home folder only").

    Dear Jerome, check for any Firewalls or Antiviruses and disable / uninstall them as these may hinder the prl_cc.exe services. Then try to reinstall Parallels Tools.

    Hi Paul,
    There are no AVs or anything installed. It's a fresh install of Windows 7.
    Attaching 2 screenshots showing the problem. IMO this is a major security design

    One of the images shows that the settings have been altered after the image was pasted over to the VM.

    Given the lack of response and this being an issue, I'm switching to VMware.
