    In Parallels 5, how is it possible to ensure that the same drive letter is always used for a mac shared folder?
    For instant I want my Mac partition DATA to always be mapped to X: in Win7.

    This is important as my Win7 apps such as Outlook 2010 stores the paths for mail accounts in the registry.

    Also, I noticed that in Parallels 4 there used to be an option called "Map folder to drive letters"
    See user guide page 168 Shared Folders Options
    http://www.parallels.com/ca/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf

    That option is not in Parallels 5
    See user guide page 180 Shared Folders Options
    http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v5/docs/en/Parallels_Desktop_Users_Guide.pdf

    Thanks
    JM

    No one?

    No answers on this?

    Should I then assume that it's not possible to control the drive letters that are mapped?
