    PRL_HANDLE hVmCfg, 
    PRL_BOOL bVmGuestSharingAutoMount
);
File

PrlApiVm.h

Parameters

hVmCfg
A handle of type PHT_VM_CONFIGURATION identifying the virtual machine configuration.
bVmGuestSharingAutoMount
Auto-mount option to set. Specify PRL_TRUE to enable sharing auto-mount. Specify PRL_FALSE to disable auto-mount.

Returns

PRL_RESULT. Possible values: 

PRL_ERR_INVALID_ARG - invalid handle or null pointer was passed. 

PRL_ERR_SUCCESS - function completed successfully. 

Remarks

If guest sharing is enabled (see PrlVmCfg_SetGuestSharingEnabled) and auto-mount 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.
