    In some earlier versions of PD, my VM C: drive icon showed up on my desktop where it was the last time. Now, it shows up on the lowest position below my Mac drive, just like when anything is added to my desktop. Is there some way to get it to show up where it was when PD quits? Thanks.

    Hi Kenneth, please enable the option stated below:
    Open virtual machine configure >> Options tab >> Sharing >> Share Windows >> Enable the option which says "Access Windows folders from Mac"

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. The "Access Windows folders from Mac" was already enabled, including "Shortcuts to virtual disk on Mac desktop," or I wouldn't have seen my VM C: drive shortcut/icon on my iMac desktop.

    I did deinstall the PD Tools from my Windows 10 VM, and installed it again. And after that I moved the VM C: drive shortcut/icon to where I wanted it to be. When I restarted my VM, the VM C: drive went back to it's preferred position. But, when I shut down PD, restarted my iMac, and opened PD, my VM C: drive shortcut/icon showed up on the lowest position below my Mac drive, just like when any file is added to my iMac desktop.

    But thanks.
