Here is how this can be enabled/disabled
- Go into VM / Settings / Options / Guest Isolation
- UNCHECK both checkboxes (Enable drag and drop, Enable copy and paste) and click OK.
- Shut down the guest, and shut down VMware Workstation
- Reboot the host computer
- Run VMware Workstation but do not launch the guest yet.
- Go into VM / Settings / Options / Guest Isolation for the guest, and
- CHECK both checkboxes
- Power On the guest.
Hope this helps!
