How can I start Parallels WITHOUT launching a VM?

Every time I open it I have to launch a VM or create one. If I click cancel the application closes. I'm trying to configure a VM but I never get the chance.
 
Open Parallels.app directly... Then, if that does not work, try holding down the command key while opening Parallels, if it is not the command key, I think it is the option key.

Or you can just edit the auto-mount setting in your pvs file.

Well that's the point... I cant change the setting because the VM always starts.

Command click opened the finder. ;(
 
MacClueless, hello,

does your VM start automatically after launching PD? You can configure this option in VM's settings but for now you can do the following: after starting PD, when it offers to choose a VM, press apple key and, holding it, choose the VM - its configuration will open but the VM won't be launched.

Best regards,
Alicia.

PD Menu >> File >> New
or import if that is the plan

just ignore the exisiting VM
you can close that afterwards
