    Hi,

    I got a serious problem with parallels... I have the last version of Os X, a new mac book pro and the last version of parralel.

    I installed windows xp and everything is working really fine exept when I want to open a shortcut.

    For instance, in windows I create a shortcut to open a software (let's call it soft.exe). So on my windows desktop I have soft.ink

    Then, I drag this soft.ink to my mac desktop. Now, if I double click on my mac soft.ink the soft.exe is opened in Windows (in parralel) but in notepad.exe!

    I don't know how to fix this... I checked the soft.ink on my mac and it says it will be opened by windows explorer.

    How can I fix this to directly launch the application itself and not open it in notepad.

    This is happening with every shortcuts.

    Thanks

    Kevin
