Hi there, I used parallels several years back and have now come back to the product again due to work computer usage requirements. The program has come a long ways in functionality, especially in the area of coherence. However I was a little dismayed when the initial admin account created when installing Windows 7 showed my entire Mac desktop, and not as shortcuts but actual files. I created another admin account and it had the same thing -- all the desktop items from my Mac. What I'd like to do is create a new stand-alone account that was clean. No folders, files, etc. from the Mac or any other user showing up on the new account. Ideas? thanks.
Hello, 1. Please (re)install Parallels Tools for Windows as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/115835 2. Disable Desktop sharing : Go to Virtual Machine Configuration ( http://kb.parallels.com/117287 ) - Options - Sharing - Shared profile - Configure - uncheck Desktop - restart Windows and check if the issue still persisting. Performing step 2 will disable Desktop sharing feature, If you need help getting started with Parallels Desktop 10, I recommend you to visit this article with instructions and video tutorials: http://kb.parallels.com/122673
