Opening .Exe
This is a really stupid question but when I originally used Parallels any time I'd click on an .exe file on my mac it would automatically open up on Parallels. Likewise the desktop would appear with the same items on both programs. How does one set that up?

unfortunately that is wasn't the problem as that was already checked for me. I'm absolutely at a loss.

Essentially even though I have the shared profile, sihared folders and shared applications all selected for both, they still stay separate between the two operating systems. I have no way to open up files on my macosx desktop to open in windows.

Looks like corruption in folder, try to delete Windows Applications folder in Virtual Machine folder, and when Virtual Machine started click Action -populate
