Using Shared Profile

Parallels Desktop provides close integration between your Mac OS and Windows guest OS. Now you can access certain Mac Home folders directly from Windows and vice versa.

Note: This option is available for Windows guest operating systems only.

The following Windows folders can be redirected to your Mac folders:

• Windows Desktop to Mac OS X Desktop
• The My Documents folder to the Documents folder on your Mac
• The My Pictures folder to the Pictures folder on your Mac
• The My Music folder to the Music folder on your Mac

When Shared Profile is enabled, the virtual machine's desktop will display the icons present on Mac OS X Desktop, the My Documents folder will contain items stored in the Documents folder on your Mac. The My Pictures and My Music folders will behave in a similar way.

To enable and configure Shared Profile, use the Shared Profile pane of Virtual Machine Configuration.

To disable Shared Profile

You can disable Shared Profile either by disabling Shared Profile in Configuration Editor or by disabling Mac folders sharing at runtime or in Virtual Machine Configuration.
