Upgraded to Parallels 10, now my Mac desktop is full of documents from Windows

[Sergey_Baskakov]

Apparently Parallels decided it will be better for me to have my Mac desktop flooded with files from Windows.
How to fix this? I do not want Windows to interfere with Mac OS, let alone it's desktop. I tried disabling everything I could (sharing, coherence, e.t.c.) - stupid icons are still on my Mac desktop.

Please help me to get rid of these icons/files.

Hi Sergey,
1. Please (re)install Parallels Tools for Windows as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/115835
2. Disable Desktop sharing : Go to Virtual Machine Configuration ( http://kb.parallels.com/117287 ) - Options - Sharing - Shared profile - Configure - uncheck Desktop - restart Windows and check if the issue still persisting.

Thanks. I came onto this forum looking for a way to stop new VMs inheriting the Mac desktop on Windows. This fixed the problem for me.
