Parallels WorkStation 2.2, 25-49u, ESD, Edu, IT WWL2XL-A03-IT Benutzerhandbuch

To select a virtual machine that is not represented in the recently used list, you should perform 
the following operations: 

1  Click the 

 icon on the Command Button panel at the bottom of the 

Parallel Workstation window or select Open in the File menu.  

2  Browse for a desired configuration file and click OK. After the configuration file is opened, 

its file name appears in the Parallels Workstation title bar, virtual machine name and full 
configuration file name with path are displayed on the property page (page 51). 

You may open an additional instance of the Parallels Workstation using the menu. To do this: 

ƒ  Select the New Window command in the File menu. 

Since last used virtual machine is blocked by the Parallels Workstation instance where you issue 
this command, a new window is opened either with the Startup Options (page 104) dialog (if the 
Show startup dialog option is selected on in the Common tab of the Preferences window), or 
with a blank virtual machine. 

 

Startup Options dialog is sometimes displayed upon Parallels Workstation startup in order to 
assist in easily opening a virtual machine or proceeding to creation of a new one. The first time 
you launch Parallels Workstation this dialog is opened automatically.
