    All-

    Basically I put my computer to sleep (windows 7), then I come back in the morning and it's on.

    I ran powercfg -lastwake from the command line and it's telling me that parallels did it. prl_disp_service.exe

    How can I prevent this from happening? It's really annoying and I don't want to be running my desktop if I'm not using it.

    Thanks!

    This is still a problem. Any answers or work-arounds?

    I've come up with a work-around, but it will prevent other wake-ups also. (Can still use USB, keyboard, etc., just not wake timers.)

    Windows Control Panel, Power Options, Edit Plan Settings, Change Advanced Power Settings, expand "Sleep", expand "Allow wake timers" and set that to "Disable".
