Configure VMWare Fusion not to spam launch services with proxy apps for Windows applications
#!/bin/sh
#
# By default, VMWare Fusion creates proxy Mac apps for every application
# installed in a Windows VM, including all of the system utilities, installers &
# uninstallers, etc. I never use these and don't want them clogging up Launchbar,
# Spotlight or Launchpad and want to disable them for all of my VMs:
echo proxyApps.publishToHost = "FALSE" >> ~/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/preferences
echo proxyApps.publishToGuest = "FALSE" >> ~/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/preferences
