    I like to keep my Windows and Mac somewhat separate (not using coherence mode) while working—this keeps me a little more sane. Anyway, I'm looking for a way to configure the application switcher to only show the Windows VM, or simply the Parallels Desktop app. Not all the running apps in the VM. I had it working this way for a while, but I had to rollback to previous snapshot and do a bunch of upgrades to get back to the state I had it in and now it shows all the running apps, the Parallels Desktop app, and the Windows 8 VM in the switcher.

    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    _mike

    Thanks for the reply.
    That setting was already unchecked and there isn't a folder in my dock. Just the apps appearing in my application switcher (cmd + tab).
