Awesome, thanks for the hint! I definitely searched around for a while, but I was always thinking about the default browser instead of the default action for opening HTM files.
I don't want to set all temp files to go to the host operating system, so I did the following:
* Using the Sharing Tab in the Virtual Machine settings, I created a new shared folder (called "VMWare Temp"). It lives somewhere on my Mac filesystem, and shows up in Windows as Z:\VMWare Temp
* Created a file "KVS.bat" that lives somewhere on my C:\ drive in the windows VM. It contains the following:
Code:
set TMP=Z:\VMWare Temp\
set TEMP=Z:\VMWare Temp\
cd "C:\Program Files\KVS Availability Tool"
KVS_AvailabilityTool.exe
* Set the default application for opening HTM files to be "Default Host Application".
* Added KVS.bat to my start menu. Made the name pretty and made it use the pretty KVS Tool icon.
* Instead of starting up the KVS tool directly, I use the KVS.bat I made, and it automatically opens URLs on my Mac where I want them.
This makes KVS way more usable with VMWare Fusion, especially in Unity mode.
