Thread: Why does Parallels put MacFuse in my System Preferences?

Hi Bob, Parallels uses MacFuse for their Shared Folder and also for Virtual Windows discs. Removing it is not advisable. Regards Stefan iMac 20" Core Duo 2GB X1600 256MB Mac OS X (10.6.1)...

Thanks Stefan! Does Parallels own MacFuse or is MacFuse a third-"third"- party program to deal with? MBP U...
