How do I remove the "Open With"context menu items caused by VMware Fusion?
- Inside Fusion, open the Virtual Machine Library window – Window menu > Virtual Machine Library, or press CMD+SHIFT+L.
- Select the VM and click the Settings button.
- Click the Applications icon, and then select the Default Applications tab.
- Uncheck Open your Mac files and web links using Windows applications and close the window.
Repeat the process for every VM.
In VMWare Fusion:
- go to Virtual Machine->Settings,
- select Default Applications,
- Uncheck Open your Mac files and web links using Windows applications
- Repeat this for all virtual machines
- Reboot your Mac
Now the Open With options for apps in your virtual machines should be gone. Personally as I don't like my VMs to creep into the guest OS I keep all checkboxes here unchecked.
