    When a second monitor is plugged in, Parallels pops up a dialog:


    Are you going to show a presentation in Parallels Desktop?

    []Use Mirroring

    [No] [Yes]

    Hold Alt to remember the choice for this display


    At some point the Alt key was held down and that preference was saved. Needs have changed - how do I get Parallels to forget the selection and ask the question again?

    Hi,

    In Parallels Desktop 9, to reset your message displays,

    >Close you Virtual Machine
    >From the Parallels Desktop Menu, select Preferences
    >Click "reset" next to Show Hidden Messages.

    Please note, this will cause all message settings to be re-set. There is not a way to undo this one setting.

    Chris' suggestion didn't work for me, I had to delete the Parallels Toolbox preferences file; I found it at:
    Code:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.parallels.toolbox.PresentationMode.plist
    Edit: I thought this was working but it didn't..
