    Hey.

    Is it possible to setup my configurations in such a way that I can run multiple of the same Windows application from the Dock on my OSX desktop? Or from the desktop on my OSX? Clicking an already running application in my dock or my desktop on my OSX just takes me to that application, and I would like it to start a second application instead.

    I'm running Parallels 11.0.0 with Windows 7 Home Basic on a MacBook with OSX 10.10.5.

    I have in the past used Parallels 7 with Windows 7 on a MacBook with OSX 10.6, and back then I was able to run multiple game clients (Windows applications) by making a .lnk which I put in the Dock on my OSX. However, I was unable to reproduce that feature now, but that might also be because I forgot how to do it. So if anyone has any advice or answers, then I would be grateful.

    Thanks in advance!

    Finally, managed to find a way to make this work: Users -> Name -> Library -> Parallells -> Applications Menu

    Select the program in this folder, and attach it to the dock. This allows for opening multiple of the same Windows applications from the dock.
