Hi.

I have completed all the settings for copying and pasting via VMRC on Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine, and copying and pasting works fine with the administrator account.
However, copying and pasting via VMRC does not work with newly created user accounts.
Oddly enough, copying and pasting works fine when I switch to the administrator account.

If you have any idea what this is, please let me know.

As for "any idea" ... copy/paste works through TEMP folder. If that happens to be Windows System Temp, then an ordinary user does not have access to it. Don't know if this is true or not. If this is it, then obviously, you could change system temp environment variable to something like "c:\temp" and make sure that you have write access to it.
