I have my win XP vm set to auto load when I select it at start up and also to shutdown Parallels when I shutdown winXP. As you can only get to the customize VM menu when the VM is open, but not loaded, how do I get there? The options to auto start & auto shutdown are in those menus... Hope that makes sense...I've searched around the forums, but couldn't see this addressed. Thanks in advance.
its been addressed many times... open the pvs file for your vm, in a text editor and set the following:- Start auto = 0 AutoShutdown = 0 then save and start parallels from the Applications menu rather than any other shortcuts you might have. HTH
