    Hi

    I am running parallels 15 on Catalina - the support and program itself have been fantastic!

    I have a working windows 10 and now a windows xp pro virtual machine on my Mac (Accounting software that is windows based so needs much)

    Now when I installed windows 10 there was a nice parallels windows 10 icon (I deleted it) now I have installed windows xp - it makes sensee for me to reinstate that icon - how do I do that please?
     
  2. Hi RichardM15. Are you referring to the Windows 10 Shortcut icon that was created on Mac Desktop during the installation?

    yes that's the one exactly :)
     
  4. Kindly refer to this article to locate the VM file (.pvm) on the Mac Finder. Then right-click that file and select 'Make Alias'. A shortcut will be created there. Just drag and drop that shortcut to the Mac Desktop.
