Disable the Clipboard sharing (only)

VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 running on ML with Windows 7. VMWare tools installed.

How can I disable (only) Clipboard sharing between Mac and Windows environments without affecting other components such as sharing files between the two environments? A competing product has a simple checkbox for this in the virtual machine configuration settings, but I can't find a similar option in Fusion 5.

Thank you

Christian

You can try adding the following to stop the Virtual Machine .vmx configuration file.

isolation.tools.copy.disable = "TRUE"

isolation.tools.paste.disable = "TRUE"

Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM of Fusion (1014782)

Note: When you change the .vmx of the virtual machine configuration file must be stopped, closed not suspended and VMware Fusion.

Post edited by: WoodyZ - I forgot to add the Boolean value and now also tested these options under VMware Fusion 5.0.3 on a Windows XP Virtual Machine and these two options will disable copy / paste operations between the host and guest, and vice versa.

  • Disable the Clipboard when using PCoIP?

    I'm trying to find out how to disable the Clipboard in customers when using PCoIP. I can use a GPO to stop the Terminal Server Services to redirect the Clipboard when you use a RDP session. It seems that if you use a PCoIP session, it is ignored, and I can still use the Clipboard.

    Also, I realize that I could use the adm of client file to extend my GPO setting on the client in order to block it, but customers are not in my field to the control. I can only control the environment of the view.

    Has anyone successfully been able to do this? I think it is a stopping point for me if I can't find a way to disable the Clipboard with PCoIP.

    The agent or client side.

    You can disable the copy/paste using the file pcoip.adm (1) and definition of the GPO or (2) to create and set a directory using regedit:

    1. load the pcoip.adm file: using gpedit.msc, goto, setting up the computer--> administrative templates, click on Action-> Add/Remove models and load the pcoip.adm file.  Then set the following parameters:

    Configuration of the computer--> administrative templates of--> Variables of PCoIP Session-->

    Not Admin Overridable settings--> virtual channels

    TO:

    -Activated

    -Unauthorized entry virtual channel list: mksvchan

    2 using the RegEdit adds/set the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL--> SOFTWARE--> policy--> Teradici PCoIP-->

    --> pcoip_admin--> pcoip.vchan_unauth_list

    To "mksvchan".

  • How can I disable the memory shared in Windows 7?

    I have a PC HP brand new with 6 GB of RAM, and I just installed a 2 GB Nvidia graphics card.  When I checked the graphic properties is what I see...

    MB 4095 total available graphics memory

    Dedicated video memory 2048 MB

    System video memory 0 MB

    Shared system memory 2047 MB

    Total available graphics memory should be 2 GB 4 GB not

    The dedicated video memory is correct.

    Shared system memory must be zero, but it's not.

    When I installed the graphics card and turned on the pc, it automatically installed card and its drivers.

    I read somewhere online that a few new pc will automatically disable the onboard graphics during the installation of a card that I checked, and Yes, it's now disalbled.  But I still see this shared in the properties of the graphics system memory.  Why is this and how can I solve this problem?

    At least theres an option in the bios, re graphics memory and it may not be, what you see is what you get.

  • Disable the download protection only. "Blocked: can contain viruses or spyware.

    Is it possible to do so. Many legitimate downloads are blocked by this behavior.

    Why the download is not blocked it is open? (hours of downloading of legitimate files and documents to see that firefox deletes them without any intervention from the user) and why are there no option to retrieve the download?

    So far, the only way to solve this problem seems to be:

    (a) use a different browser
    (b) systematically lower settings security of the browser to download a file, then re-enable the options (browser.safebrowsing.enabled and browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled)

    Thank you for your time.

    As much as I know Firefox does not remove downloads. However he screen to them:

    I wouldn't turn them off, however if you download, it is possible to put them in another folder.

    Hi all,
    I recently bought this laptop with 2 GB of memory.
    I just bought 4 GB of Crucial, after doing the scan and it recommends the right Ram purchase.

    I installed it and when check in information system's watch than 3.3 GB.
    Now that I'm confused because according to this specification on blocks:

    «Graphic adapter: memory: 256 MB of VRAM dedicated (up to 1,023 MB memory graphics available using technology HyperMemory with 2 GB of system memory total) "»

    It seems that the graphics adapter card has took a little of my memory of the system.
    How can I change the settings so that it used only 256 MB or just a little more? I can't find a way to Vista.

    * waves *.

    Please check this Toshiba document on this subject of 3.3 GB memory.
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7601WE0007R01.htm

    The windows and the BIOS cannot recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit system.
    System resources need of addressing which overlaps physical memory below 4 GB.
    These requirements can reduce available addressable memory space to and reported by the operating system

    The GPU sharing only 256 MB.

    PS: I read somewhere on the net that the new Vista SP1 which is officially available in 2008 has solved the problem with limitation of 32-bit system

  • Copied elements appear in the Clipboard for 5 seconds and then disappears

    PC running Windows XP SP3. I tried to scan the computer from viruses and malware using a variety of software. When I copy something (ctrl-c), the item remains in the Clipboard for about 5 seconds and then disappears. I can paste the item within 5 seconds, but after that, there is nothing to paste.

    I solved the problem! Not too long ago, I activated an app that "optimized" RAM to make more RAM available for other functions of PC. An option in the deleted application, the contents of the Clipboard as soon as they were detected. I disabled the Clipboard in the RAM option, optimization of the app, and the problem disappeared.

    Hello

    We have a set of ad hoc reports in the shared folder of OBIEE that will be accessed by approximately 50 users. Each user can modify reports by adding or removing columns and keep them according to their requirement. That's why users should not save reports in the shared folder. Instead, they should be able to modify reports and do a save as to save the reports in my folder. Kindly help us in disabling option for shared reports.

    Kind regards

  • Is there a configuration parameter that can be set so that the various web pages can NOT disable the ability for the latest data from the Clipboard in a field instead of typing

    Occasionally various websites have forms to fill out. Frequently, the password field and the ability to paste from the Clipboard is disabled. Since I use a password manager and generate passwords as mN0ZJ1Pj (generated example for display) she would like to be able to paste the password because there is less tendency for me for spelling errors.

    I would like to know if there is a configuration setting that causes the instructions on the web site to disable the ability to stick to be ignored. My position is that it's MY computer and I should be able to do what I want on my end.

    Thank you.

  • I would like to disable the download only history

    Hello

    I would like to disable the download only history, I tried the option 'clear history when firefox closes' check the download only history, but it did not work. the download window is clear, but it's all there in the download history.
    is there a way to disable the download only, history without touching the others intact?

    Thank you
    Rgds
    JP

    The download history is stored as part of the normal history (visited sites/links) and a special annotation identifies it as a download item in the history.

    If you can not separate the two more.

    Note that the classic Download Manager stores its data in a different file, you will need to check both if you have set on remember downloads.

    You can set the browser.download.useToolkitUI pref Boolean true on the topic: config page to restore the old window Download Manager and check all the settings download appear in "tools > Options > general.

    The pref browser.download.manager.retention has no effect with the new download manager and is forced to manual (2).
