MacBook Pro Early 2011 - Mac OSX 10.7.2 VMWare Fusion 4.0.2 Guest OS is Win7 64-bit, all the latest updates. MS Office 2010 w/latest.
So, basically I'm using the Win7 guest OS for Outlook only (I need to run Taglocity, which doesn't work with Mac Office 2011). Anyway, when I get emailed a URL I can click on it and the URL is opened in my default browser on the Host OS. Love it! I want to do the same thing for documents that I receive. I want to be able to open an email attachment that is a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, etc. and have it open in the host appropriate Mac OSX app. I feel like I should be able to do this, but can't quite get my mind around it.
In Fusion Preferences > Default Applications I have checked "Open your Windows files and Web links using Mac applications". The second part of the "Web links" works fine. But not the first!
Edit: I should also say that VMware tools are installed!
Can anyone help me out here? How can I get my Host apps to be associated with file types in my Windows guest?
