Running Paralells between M4 Mac and Windows 11 Pro Issues

Hi All,

I'm new here, so I'm probably going to ask questions that have been asked, even though I could not find them through a search.

I have an M4 Mac running Tahoe 26.1. I have purchased Parallels Desktop and the latest Windows 11 Pro.

I have a couple of issues.
1. I cannot get a desktop folder to show up in File Explorer in Win 11. I have tried adding a shortcut and a quick link, but neither worked. The shortcut showed up in File Explorer, but it contained nothing.
2. When I delete something from Win 11, it does not move it to the recycle bin on Win 11; however, it places it in the Bin on the Mac. Is this expected?
3. Can I have a desktop in Win 11 that does not have everything I have on my Mac desktop?
4. Is there a quick function to swap between Windows and Mac? Like pressing a shortcut I have set up, like Cmd ⌘ Tab?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
