    I create some folders shortcut on the windows desktop and it disappears from time to time. It doesn't have any pattern. Sometimes, it disappear after a month. Sometimes it disappears within one or two week. But one thing I am sure, it doesn't relate to update of OS or parallels software. Any idea?

    System Version: Desktop.
    macOS : High Sierra 10.13.3
    Windows: Windows 7
    Parallels : Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac Home Edition (13.2.0 (43213)) - the problem exists since version 9

    How I create the shortcut:
    Open Computer -> select Home on Mac (Z)
    Choose the folder inside my Dropbox Folder, right click -> Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)
    Also choose some files and create the shortcut on my Windows using the mentioned method.

    Hi @GalenF , please try Actions > Reinstall Parallels Tools and check if that helps.

    Thanks! I will try it. This problem occurs since the Parallels Desktop version 8.
