    Hello,

    When running Parallels with a Win OS VM is it possible to launch a Windows application from within Finder?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Thanks John - I discovered my problem is with Path Finder which I use almost exclusively over Finder. In Path Finder the launcher for Windows executables is defaulting to an Adobe Shockwave file reader running on my MacBook Pro. In Finder the default was for Windows Explorer and the Windows application did launch when I double clicked on an exe file.
