XP program folder in dock doesn't show cmd links

Hi there,

I have some program links in my XP programs folder that open a cmd file (running under PD5 current version). All those *.lnk files won't show up in the OS/X (10.6.2) dock folder for that machine.
Any good reason for that ?

 

.lnk files is not listed in Windows Applications folder in Dock in current version. Just use Windows Start menu functionality in Parallels Desktop Dock icon in Coherence or Parallels Desktop icon in mac menu bar in Crystal mode.

 

Hmmm, looks like I have a more than current version then (5.0.9220/531119). My PD5 shows .lnk files in the dock folder. Aren't usually all programs from the start menu .lnk files?
It just doesn't show .lnk files pointing to .cmd files instead of .exe.
I've solved this by converting my .cmd files with AutoIt to .exe files. Eversince I did that that .lnk files are also shown in the dock folder.

 

As Start Menu contains .lnk files only written in registry, you are right, .lnk files pointed to .exe files only are supported by Parallels.
