    I migrated my XP system over, it appears in the virtual machines list and functions just fine,
    But how do I put a link on my desktop so I can click on it, instead of going through 3 steps to boot my VM?

    Thanks

    Well,found my solution.

    I had to click on my drive, then the users folder, then my username, then documents, then parallels.
    At that point, You can right click on the appropriate .vms and choose create alias, then move that alias to the desktop.
    Finally, click on the name on the desktop once, to rename it to what you want.

    I'm guessing there is an easier way....but at least this way worked.
