11Al Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Every time I start/restart VM OS X, the vmware shared folders icon appears on the desktop for a few seconds. Is there a way to make this icon no longer appear? I run Yosemite OS X on Vmware Workstation 10.0.4. I disabled shared folders option in Vmware Workastation and sharing options in OS X System Preferences settings.

Naki Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This is a Shared folder in fact. Just disable this in Finder Preferences and it should not show any more. NOTE: IF you use "real" shared folders you need to show up, then you should not disable this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you using a so outdated VMware Workstation version anyway? 10.x is many major versions behind, latest is 15.x currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
