    I have three vm's windows1.pvm, windows2.pvm, windows3.pvm. How do I auto start windows1.pvm?

    My specs:

    Parallels:Build 8.0.18608
    Mac Build: OS X 10.8.4

    I have added windows1.pvm to my login items but that does not work as it brings up the "Parallels virtual machine" window but does not auto start windows1.pvm.


    I found this :http://kb.parallels.com/en/4810
    but I cannot open the vmstart.app zip file I get an error "Operation not permitted"

    select but do not start the vm, from the Parallels menu across the top (next to the apple) go to Virtual machines>configure...>Options>Startup and Shutdown
    under Start Automatically select> When Window Opens

    Then auto run Parallels. Support forgot that step.
