    I have Parallels Version 9 and am having a problem that just started recently (after a version upgrade to Parallels but perhaps I changed something.) Here's what happens.

    If I'm working full screen in Windows 7, and click to open a folder or even more often, click the Internet Explorer icon to open a web browser page, instead of opening where I can see it, Parallels shrinks itself down to the task bar and switches to the Macintosh Finder desktop. I then have to click on the minimized icon to actually display the window so I can use it. When it do, it switches back to the Windows 7 full screen desktop. But if I click to open another folder, or click the IE icon to open another instance of the web browser, it happens again.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions or help you might offer.

    Gary
