    Running Parallels 4.0 on MacBook Pro, Mac OS Version 10.5.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    Switched to Windows XP, opened Explorer and I'm trying to download some file to my XP desktop. All downloads are automatically showing up on my Mac desktop instead and I have to end up copying it over (via a C:Drive shortcut on my Mac desktop).

    How can I change this to where when I'm in Windows, downloads go to my PC desktop and visa versa for Mac?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try to turn of Shared Profiles feature in Vm configuration - it must help.

    Bingo! That's it.

    Would love to be able to leave it on to share files back and forth freely with Windows and Mac, but if I need to turn it off to download, will do.

    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.
