I have a virtual machine I use in VMWare Fusion5. It is running Windows 8
I moved the VM from one Mac to another and then back again (long and painful story) using a time machine backup.
The VM is on the original machine it was setup on but it has been restored from a complete time machine backup. Since I have done this my OSX desktop appears as the Windows8 desktop in the VM. What I can't do is open anything on the desktop.
I am guessing the problem is actually down to either permissions or broken links. How do I find out and then fix?
As an aside, in an ideal world my VM wouldn't have a shared desktop with OSX. Is that possible to setup?
