Managing Virtual Machines From the Tray

When working with Parallels Management Console, you can use the Parallels Management Console tray icon to easily manage your running and paused virtual machines:

• Double-click the tray icon to bring the Parallels Management Console window to focus.
• Right-click the tray icon to open its context menu where you can see your running and paused virtual machines.

  Note: Suspended and stopped virtual machines are not listed in the tray icon context menu.

  Point to a virtual machine and do one of the following:

  • Choose Show Window to bring the virtual machine window to focus. If this window is detached, only the detached window will be brought to focus.
  • If the virtual machine is paused, choose the corresponding item to resume, suspend, shut down or restart this virtual machine.
  • If the virtual machine is running, choose the corresponding item to pause, suspend, shut down or restart this virtual machine.
