It seems like every few weeks, I look in File Explorer in my Windows VM, and my entire Mac filesystem is mounted as a network drive. So is my home directory.
I turn this feature off for a reason; it would be nice if it didn't override my decision and re-enable itself. This time I think it was a Parallels Tools update that triggered the bug.

There is a screenshot attached of the VM Configuration -> Options -> Sharing screen. The two top checkboxes become checked by some background process, and not by me. It is very annoying, because I don't want either of those folders exposed to my VM.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
 
This is still unresolved, and I have to manually shut down my VM, go into configure, and disable 'AllFiles' and my home directory. I do not want these shared with my VM.
Randomly, they will re-enable themselves without any interaction from me, which disrupts my drive mappings, and has now cost me at least hours of my time manually resetting it.
This is a really bad bug that needs to be resolved 1.5 years ago!
