Desktop for Mac- configuring default Num Lock behavior Since Mac OS does not require users to press Num Lock in order to type numbers, I'm constantly forgetting to press the Clear key on my Mac USB keyboard every time I start up Parallels Desktop. How about adding a new option in Parallels...

What is the purpose of the different Security Options in 4124? I click the Help button and it provides the following information: There are three security levels available: High. This level indicates greater virtual machine isolation from Mac OS X than other levels. Medium-high. Shared...

Unfortunately, it appears that Parallels Desktop for Mac build 4124 continues to drop a bunch of items in the /System/Library/Extensions folder with ambiguous, cryptic file names. For example, "ConnectUSB.kext" looks like it has something to do with USB, but who created this file? There are...

Numlock indicator Since the newer Apple USB keyboards do not have a numlock light, I have requested many times to put a numlock indicator in the Parallels status bar.

In Parallels Desktop 3120 for Mac, there is an option in the Preferences to "Show live screen shot in Dock". But while this works for the Parallels application icon, it does not work for guest OS windows that are minimized. When this option is enabled and you minimize a guest OS window, the...

Since kernel extensions interact with the operating system at a low level, they can affect the stability of the system. For this reason, whenever kernel extensions are installed, they should be named so that it is easy to determine who these extensions belong to. But when I installed Parallels...

Please use better file names in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Currently, Parallels for Mac tramples all over the Extensions folder and installs ambiguously named files such as "ConnectUSB.kext", "helper.kext" and "hypervisor.kext". You are not the only company that installs items in...

Since Mac users have been requesting a more Mac-like interface for Parallels Desktop, I have noticed an interface issue when you edit a virtual machine configuration and you are prompted to save changes. When you are prompted to save changes, the only choices available are Yes and No. There is...

Virtual PC has 2 ways of implementing rollback. The first way is through a type of virtual hard drive called a Differencing disk. A Differencing disk stores only the changes made against an existing hard drive image. The virtual machine sees a Differencing disk as a normal hard drive. The...

I installed the Parallels Desktop build 1832 RC for Mac. In the Preferences > Options > Booting Options section, you can choose the boot order for the virtual machine. It looks like if you want to boot from a CD first, you select the "CD, HD, Floppy" option. But if you wanted to boot from a...

The Image Tool included with Beta 6 for Mac does not allow you to work with floppy disks. Specifically, I would like Image Tool to be able to create a floppy disk image from a physical floppy disk in a USB floppy drive.
