Hi list,
Recently, I accidentally moved my virtual machine to the trash. Upon
recognizing what I'd done, I promptly restored it by copying it from
the trash to the virtual machines folder. I then deleted the virtual
machine from fusion that pointed to the file in the trash, and emptied
it.
Everything went fine for the most part, and the newly copied machine
is still usable. But, there is still one annoying problem.
The VM is windows xp, with vmware tools installed. I also have the
option enabled where I can open documents and files either with the
mac software or windows.
Here's the problem. Whenever I control click on something with finder,
and down arrow to open with, I get options as if I had multiple xp
machines installed. For instance, when clicking on a word document,
microsoft word appears in the open with menu twelve different times.
They all have different numbers after them too, such as microsoft word
machine xp pro 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
How do I get rid of these excess shortcuts? I don't have anywhere near
twelve virtual machines installed. I only have one, so I should only
see word, wordpad, etc. in my open with menu once. Does anybody know
how to remove the unnecessary options from the open with menu? Also,
what could have caused this to occur?
Thanks,
John J Herzog
