    I want to add an app to my Favorites but it doesn't appear in the doc (so therefore I can't right-click and add it to my favorites). Is there any other way?

    Do you mean you want to add a windows app to the mac dock?

    If so you need to turn this on in the parallels preferences under the appearance tab.

    Then you can right click on the app and keep it in the dock !!

    I've got the preference set to "Show applications in dock", and I have the same challenge as Billy Shears.

    Some Windows apps show up in the dock, allowing me to add them to "Favorites". Pretty cool.

    Other Windows apps do not show up in the dock, even though they do show up in the Windows task bar. What does show up in the dock is something called "Desktop Windows Manager", with no reference to the app that shows up when you click on it. Frustrating.

    How can I get a Windows app that does not show up natively in the dock to do so?

    Exactly, preference on, apps in Taskbar but not in Doc.
