Parallels Workstation 2.2, 50-99u, DE, MNT WWL2XM-04-DE Benutzerhandbuch

Note. Parallels Tools Center is available in Windows guest OSes only. 

Parallels Workstation allows you to control the status of Parallels Tools in all of the Windows 
guest OSes for which tools are provided (see Parallels Tools Overview (page 77) for tools 
descriptions and availability table). The Parallels Tools Center allows you to: 

ƒ  check the status of various tools; 
ƒ  temporarily disable and enable each tool separately (for those tools that can be stopped 

without violating guest OS executing); 

ƒ  configure specific tool parameters (for those tools that have them). 

The Parallels Tools Center is organized as a collection of tabs, each of which contains settings 
for an individual tool. In each guest OS, the Parallels Tools Center contains tabs only for those 
tools that you have installed in your guest OS. 

Parallels Tools Center is started automatically upon guest OS startup; its icon is placed into the 
guest OS system tray. 

Parallels Tools Center is installed along with Parallels Tools. Refer to the Installing Parallels 
Tools (page 76) section for detailed instructions. 

If you have a virtual machine created by a previous version of Parallels Workstation with 
Parallels Tools installed, you need to upgrade this package. See Upgrading Parallels Tools (page 
87). 

Parallels Tools Center in Parallels Workstation 2.2 contains new Shared Folders Options tab 
needed for Shared Folders function in Windows 2000/XP/2003 guest OSes. 

To open Parallels Tools Center: 

ƒ  click its icon   in guest OS system tray. 

To restart Parallels Tools Center after disabling: 

ƒ  Locate the ParallelsToolsCenter.exe file in the folder where you have installed 

the Parallels Tools and launch it. 

If you installed the Parallels Tools into the default folder, this file resides in the following 
path: 

C:/Program Files/Parallels/Parallels 

Tools/ParallelsToolsCenter.exe
