If you want other users of your Mac to access your virtual machine, choose Share with other 
users of this Mac - and your virtual machine will be saved in the /Users/Shared folder that is 
accessible to all users. 

If you want to edit your virtual machine hardware configuration before proceeding to 
operating system installation, select Customize settings before installation.

system and Parallels Tools in it or if you chose to customize the settings before installation, 
the assistant will open the virtual machine configuration dialog. 

Note: Parallels Tools are installed automatically in most of the popular Windows and Linux 
operating systems. In other operating systems they should be installed manually (p. 25). 

The newly created virtual machine will be accessible through the Parallels Virtual Machines list 
(p. 27) that allows you to easily manage your virtual machines. 

When creating a Windows virtual machine, Parallels Desktop creates an administrator account 
with a blank password. When the guest OS installation is complete, it is recommended that you 
change this password.
