Duplicate apps in Microsoft Windows Applications folder

I have XP, Windows 8, and Windows 10 machines inside Parallels on El Capitan. Each of the three Microsoft Windows Applications folders has multiple duplicate applications. For example

CalendarIcon.exe [1]
CalendarIcon.exe [2]
CalendarIcon.exe [3]
CalendarIcon.exe.app

a lot of them include Icon or Shortcut in their name, but not all. For example:

Google Chrome [1]
Google Chrome [2]

Can someone explain what causes this, and how to fix it?
