    I'm quite new to parallel so i need all the help i can get right now!

    Since i've started using parallel desktop 12, i downloaded a 4GB windows file to run windows on my mac for the purpose of editing on Sony Vegas Pro 14. The downside is that every time i drag something on my windows desktop, it will appear on my mac's desktop. for example, if i took a screenshot on my windows and dragged it to my desktop, when i did command + tab, it would also appear on my macs desktop. any ideas on how to un-sync this process so that the files dont appear on both my computers??

    Thanks, Eric.

    You can see the desktop icons from Windows on Mac desktop as the Shared Profile is enabled. You can open configuration > Options > under Shared Profile you can select configure then uncheck Desktop to disable Sharing Desktop.
