On the main page listing new features in Paralles Desktop 10 (https://www.parallels.com/ca/products/desktop/whats-new/) the following can be found:

Share files, text or web-pages from Windows using Internet accounts configured on your Mac. Post on Twitter, Facebook, etc., send via email, AirDrop, and Messages.

I am running the latest version - 10.0.1 (27695) - of Paralles Desktop on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4. I upgraded Parallels Desktop from the latest version 9.x to 10.0.0. I then installed a fresh VM running Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise (Version 6.1 Build 7601 with Service Pack 1). After that I upgraded Parallels Desktop 10.0.0 to 10.0.1.

Parallels Desktop 10 does not allow me to right click on a selected text in, say, Internet Explorer and then select "Share on" from the context menu, and then chose native Mac email, Twitter or Facebook, etc. share options. This native share feature is simply not available.

What am I doing wrong? How can I take advantage of this new feature of Parallels Desktop 10?

You need to have Internet Explorer 10 or later to use Mac 'Share on' feature.

That would explain it :-)

Unfortunately, I have to stay with IE 8 to maintain compatibility with my company's intrantet sites :-(

BTW, it would help if this limitation were explained in the help files and even as a footnote to description of this feature on "what's new" page.

Thank you very much!
