Dear VMware,
Please fix the copy/paste function in your VMware Player. Every time I copy a file from the client to the host, Player will make ANOTHER copy of the file. This is nice when you are trying to figure out why your host is running out of drive space.
What I have done is create a small batch file that will truncate the VMwareDnD folder on Startup.
1. Create a batch file.
2. In that batch file you will want to provide the path to your VMwareDnD folder.
@echo off
del C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER WHATEVER HERE\AppData\Local\Temp\VMwareDnD\”.” /Q /s >nul
3. Save the file and copy or cut and paste it to here
C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER WHATEVER HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Is that the only place where it makes copies of the files you copy from guest?
Thanks
