    When I try to open the "Parallels Shared Folders" icon on my Win 7 desktop, I get an error:

    \\.psf is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.

    I only want to share two specific folders between my Mac and the Win 7 VM. I have specified these two folders under the "Shared Folders" and "User-defined Folders" sections of the Parallels Configuration menu. Any ideas?

    Just wondering, but when you open a cmd.exe as administrator, can you change the drive to z: ?? I can't.

    Follow the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue.

    1. In windows click on start -> control panel -> add or remove programs, here uninstall Parallels Tools and kaspersky (Parallels Internet Security) if it is installed.
    2. After uninstalling completely click on start -> run and type cmd and click on ok (a black window should pop up on the screen).
    3. In the black window type cd c:\windows\system32\drivers and hit the enter button.
    4. Now type del prl* and hit the enter button
    5. Go to My Computer -> c: -> program files and rename the parallels folder to parallelsold .
    6. Restart the virtual machine
    7. After the windows is booted install Parallels Tools and then install Kaspersky (Parallels Internet Security) if necessary.

    I get "Access denied" and I am the administrator

    Access denied

    I also get the Access Denied when I try to delete the prl* files. Any suggestions?
