    Do you have Shared Profile enabled , if yes, Desktop is Mac OS desktop, and thus you actually not copying, also check that you have Shared Folders are enabled

    Hi John,

    thank you for your reply. I have show and Shared Profile are not enabled but Shared Folders are enabled. I use Lotus Notes in the coherence modus. When i drag and drop a file from Lotus Notes direct to my OSX Desktop but the file doesn´t copy to OSX Desktop. You habe any idea?

    In the single Window from XP Desktop to OSX Desktop works fine, but from the Lotus Notes program doesn´t work. I don´t see a green + to copy.

    It looks either Parallels Tools are not working correct (I do not think so), either some software blocking it, try to copy file to Finder Window
