    Hi guys,

    My first post, so please be gentle!

    I've just migrated over from VMware fusion to Parallels 8, most of it went very smoothly indeed - just one issue that is a deal breaker for me:

    I do a lot of work / demonstrations in Windows 7, and have around 15 desktop icons with the presentations in them.

    When I shutdown Windows 7, and re-start next time, all the icons have moved around ..

    This only happens if I shutdown when Windows7 was displayed Full screen by Parallels8, in window mode everything comes back up the way it was.

    I tested the same thing with Windows XP guests, and the same happens there too.

    I have spent a few hours tweaking settings in parallels8 and can't figure out how to fix this.

    This is a new one on me, as it never happens on VMware (although there are other issues on VMware.)

    Am I missing something?
