Remarks

If guest sharing is enabled, the guest OS disk drives will be accessible in the host OS. If, in addition, the auto-mount feature is turned on, the guest OS disk drives will appear as icons on the host desktop. If sharing is enabled but auto-mount is not, you will not see the drives in the host OS but Smart Select feature will still work.

Parallels Tools must be installed to use this feature. To obtain the Parallels Tools status, use the PrlVm_GetToolsState function.
