I don’t know a single admin who enables the feature anyway. By concept alone, it’s a bad idea and always was... bug or not.

Ping for Windows users using VMWare. . . there’s a vulnerability that needs attention.

I’ve been trying to get my vmware tools updated on my work laptop since I reloaded the damned thing. The host is a laptop running craptastic Win 7. The first problem is that I can’t even get the file menu to display in the vmware application. I’ve searched the internet and have found craploads of articles on how to enable it in IE, and windowz explorer, but how do I get the file menu to display in other application?

I have no problem installing the tools from my Linux workstation. I just updated my Linux “Workstation” copy to 11.1.3. Guess I’ll test to see if installing the latest copy of tools there will be recognised on the windows host.
