Hello Having successfully been running Windows XP on Parallels desktop 8 these is something seriously amiss. Despite being setup under configure, from windows desktop I can no longer access my mac drives. However While windows is running the mac desktop can access my windows drives. Instead I get a message when I run windows "you will be logged out of the system to apply the new shared profile settings" if I click on OK, windows logs out and in again and its back to square one and the "you will be logged out of the system to apply the new shared profile settings" reappears, so I am going round in circles. The only way I can get rid of this message is to switch off virtual machine/configure/share folders = none, then the message goes away. It seems i need to delete this shared profile? does anyone know where it is. Thanks Stephen
