FTA:
To maintain and improve user inter-operation with virtualized and non-virtualized systems VMware's software implements a number of inter-system communication features. The Shared Folder mechanism is one of such features and is enabled by default in all VMware's products that provide it. This is quite simply an incorrect statement. VMware Workstation and Player do not use shared folders by default and have no default shared folders. All of this has to be deliberately set up. However, once you have set up folder sharing, those settings will follow the guest VM if you move it to another system, so it is imperative that you verify the settings of a VM you did not yourself build before using it.
Generally speaking, I haven't met a single American who truly admits to hating Cubans. It would appear (at least to me) that only our government does.
