    Greetings,
    I have installed Parallels on my MacBook Pro in a effort to have access to the few Windows programs I use (such as Access) without keeping a separate PC CPU. I have much more experience with PC's than Mac's. I have intalled Parallels tools and can access from Windows the folders I have selected to share from my Mac.
    I have been unable to figure out how to do the reverse...how to access files on my Windows partition from my Mac.

    Can someone walk me through the process of setting up the Mac side of things.

    Thanks,

    Dan Boyce

    Share a folder within your Windows VM, like you would do when you want to share it among other Windows machines in your network. At the Mac's Finder, go to Network and select the workgroup and consequently the name of your Windows VM as configured. Authenticate, and you're good to go.
