When you start a virtual machine, its console is opened and acts as the display of a real 
computer (refer to Console View (on page 53)). Your next step is to capture your keyboard and 
mouse in the Virtual Machine screen; after doing so you are able to work with the Virtual 
Machine in the same way you would with a standalone computer. 

Parallels Workstation controls such as the toolbar and the menu allows to manage virtual 
machine behavior when running the machine in windowed mode. You may also run the Virtual 
Machine in fullscreen mode, where Parallels Workstation controls and the primary operating 
system are not visible.  

While working in windowed mode, Parallels Workstation controls let you to do the following: 

ƒ  start, turn off and reset the virtual machine, 
ƒ  switch between virtual machine and your host computer, 
ƒ  pause and suspend virtual machine, 
ƒ  connect and disconnect devices, change data type accessed by them, 
ƒ  temporarily disable separate Parallels Tools (if you have them installed), 
ƒ  expand virtual machine console to fullscreen mode. 

The Configuration Editor is inaccessible while the virtual machine is running.
