Hi there,

Just curious what you mean by "folder synchronization kicks off" when you log off, is this because you have selected Make Available offline for the folder? Or are you using something like
Office groove and synchronizing workspaces or something else?

Also, are you using mirrored folders?

When you say "manually map a drive from the guest to the host machine" how are you doing that?
E.g. net use or Explorer menu "Map a network drive" option, and what are the parameters you give?

Thanks.
Steve

Is there any further information on resolving this issue? It has been driving me nuts every day when I shut down my XP VM.

Please

I'm currently using 2.0.5

This is a feature of the Windows OS that has been enabled and has nothing to do with Fusion per se even though it's trying to sync with the VMware Shared Folder this is a Windows OS related User initiated function of the Windows OS.

1. Open My Computer.

2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

3. On the Offline Files tab, make sure that the Enable Offline Files check box is not checked.

Yeah, thanks! Great timing. Todays the day my Parallels trial ran out. Maybe I won't be needing it after all....
