    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and all of the links in the Parallels Folder, in my Dock, do not work. I get the message "There is no application set to open the document "ProgramName"."

    Please help

    Thanks!

    I have exactly the same problem. Annoyingly, when you select a program to open the link with, there's no option to set it to remember your choice.

    OK, I think I've cleared the problem up. If you exit Coherence mode, load any program in windows, then re-enter coherence mode, all the links start working! Loading one program this way was all it took to get all the shortcuts working.

    I am also having the problem now - but the exit coherence trick isn't working for me anymore (It was working prior to this latest update)

    I did get it working again - these are the steps I took:
    1 - Disabled "Show Windows applications folder in Dock"
    2 - Disabled "Share Windows applications with Mac"
    3 - Completely shut down my VM
    4 - Reinstalled the latest version of Parallels
    5 - Started up my VM
    6 - Shut it down again (not sure if this was necessary to get it working...)
    7 - Re-enabled "Share Windows applications with Mac"
    8 - Re-enabled "Show Windows applications folder in Dock"
    9 - Re-enabled "Crystal Mode" (got disabled when disabling things at the begining)
    10 - Restarted my VM again

    It was a lot of steps - but it's working now...would be nice if it didn't break again...
