Desktop folder locked in SHeepShaver

Post by Jordan882 »

I am using SheepShaver on Windows 10, and I enabled the option that allows SheepShaver to put a My PC icon so I could access files from my actual PC. However, when I try to drag files from My PC to the SheepShaver desktop, I can't because it says the folder is write protected. How can I make it not write protected?

Do not drag the files directly to the desktop, but to another Mac volume within SheepShaver first.
