    When will shared folders be implemented for Win2k SP4? As of right now, there is some sort of permissions issues with which I think you are aware. Anyway, I'm just wondering when this functionality will be implemented. It sounds like shared folders for WinXP is working OK now.

    This doesn't directly answer your question but may provide a workaround. I've been using this for a while.

    Instead of using the Shared Folders feature of Parallels I turned on Windows Sharing under OS X. Then under Windows (I'm using Win2k SP4 too) I mapped a network drive to my Documents folder on the host.

    Works great.

    Thanks. This works fine as long as you're connected to your local network. Offline, this is not an option.
