Configuring Virtual Machine 165
Security Options
This tab describes the overall level of security set for the virtual machine. Using the slider you
can change the overall level of security, thus changing other settings associated with specific
security level on other tabs of Configuration Editor (on the Shared Folders Options tab in the
current version of Parallels Desktop).
There are three security levels available:
 High. This level indicates greater virtual machine isolation from Mac OS X than other
levels.
 Medium-high. Shared folders are allowed and access to Windows disks from Mac OS X
side.
 Medium. Indicates the high level of integration between Mac OS X and Windows.
The Set Default button sets the security level to the default position at Medium-High.
For more information on the meaning of the options involved refer to Shared Folders Options
(page 168).
