Relocate Windows Disk Image

HI,

I've just started using Parallells over the last few days on a new Macbook Pro, and have a few questions around how best to use it to suit my needs.

I'm primarily a .NET developer, and I wish to keep a Windows 7 .NET development environment on an external USB3 disk that I can then access from anywhere, as long as I have my drive with me.

I have done a test installation of Windows 7 using Parallells desktop for Mac, but I am not able to figure out the following:

  1. Where can I specify the location where to create the virtual disk image I am creating? I could not see any option for this during the Parallells setup screens.
  2. Where can I find existing disk images that I have already created? They're on my Macbook somewhere, but I can't see an option to manage disk images from within Parallells itself.
  3. How can I load a disk image from an external drive?

Also, there is a Parallells icon on my launch bar and in my Applications folder. Every time I click it, it automatically opens the last Windows image I was working in.

Is it possible to startup parallells without it automatically opening the last Windows environment I was working in ? Can I start up just the Parallells management environment, and then select which image to open?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
