The IT guys at my company set up my new laptop with the .pvm on the desktop and it's driving me crazy. How can I move it to its proper location in the Documents/Parallels folder?
Hi @KarenR2, Please stop or suspend your virtual machine before following the steps below: 1. By default, virtual machine files are located either in Documents/Parallels folder inside your user folder, or in /Users/Shared/Parallels. 2. Copy the .pvm file to an external hard drive 3. Double-click on it to open the virtual machine.
Yes, I know that by default that's where the file should live. But that's not where my IT guys put it. They put it on my desktop. When I tried to move it to the Documents/Parallels folder (drag and drop), it didn't work any more. I do not want to move it to an external hard drive. I want it on the same hard drive it's on, just in the proper location.
Hi @KarenR2 , just to confirm, is the drag and drop not working or after dragging and dropping the .pvm file is not working?
Arun - The latter. After I drag and drop, the .pvm file is not working. When I click on it, Parallels just comes up with a ?. Also, when I drag and drop it, Parallels auto-created a replacement .pvm on the desktop.
