Turn Off the Drag-and-Drop Feature

The drag-and-drop feature is turned on by default when you create a virtual machine in Workstation Pro. To prevent dragging and dropping between a virtual machine and the host system, turn off the drag-and-drop feature.

Note: You cannot enable or turn off the drag-and-drop feature for a remote virtual machine.

Procedure

1. Select the virtual machine and select VM > Settings.
2. On the Options tab, select Guest Isolation.
3. Deselect Enable drag and drop.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
