    Hi,
    What is the difference between local/global sharing and Shared folders?
    I'd like to be able to have fine-grained control over which folders are shared,
    but also have SmartSelect work. Appears that SmartSelect doesn't work for Shared
    folders, but needs local/global sharing on.

    It is very well documented in the PDF files that come with the product.

    Do you mean p. 109 of the User's Guide? There's nothing in there about SmartSelect (in fact that doesn't show up at all in the User's guide.) However, there are two paragraphs,
    one about Shared Folders and one about Sharing for Drag and Drop. Too bad only the
    second works with SmartSelect: would have preferred fine-grained access for security
    (i.e. only
    documents in one subdirectory of the hard drive can be accessed directly by Parallels
    and "Open with"); unless, that is, I'm missing something.

    Sorry - you missed the tongue in cheek in my reply. It's not well documented at all.
