no Parallels tools 4.0 control panel or notification icon

I have an XP guest - SP3 fully updated. I started fresh with the 4.0 release and created a new OS install.

I installed parallels tools and it succeeds. That said, there is no icon in the taskbar nor a control panel applet. There is no start menu program folder for Parallels either.

How can I fix this? I've updated Parallels - installed and reinstalled Tools. Nothing helps.

I must be doing something dumb - but I can't crack it.

 

This is a feature. Parallels Tools now have no icon in Windows task bar trey or any item in start menu. All tools configuration must be done in "Virtual Machine configuration" dialog.

 

Hello, akidd,

I hope this Knowledgebase article will be helpful:

Thanks! I might have missed it, but a "what's changed" FAQ for longtime users would be great.
