In the command prompt, I am trying to navigate to the Desktop where I have a directory containing several code files. However I am unable to cd into any of the directories located on the Windows Desktop. For example, when navigating to C:\Users\name\Desktop\Code I receive the following error: "The system cannot find the path specified." This is my first time using Parallels Desktop for Mac; any suggestions on addressing this issue?

Check and confirm if Shared Profile is enabled under VM configuration > Options > Sharing. If it is enabled then the folders are actually saved on your Mac Desktop. You can open those folders in Windows Explorer then select address bar which will give you the exact location of the folder.In the command prompt, I am trying to navigate to the Desktop where I have a directory containing several code files.

Thanks, just double checked and the "Share Mac user folders with Windows" is enabled. In the command prompt, I was able access the directory by typing "pushd \\Mac\Home\Desktop\Username\".
