    Hi,

    This is strange: when I use Parallels 9 in window mode, there's no dock icon and Parallels does not show up in the command-tab menu.
    It's quite annoying because when the Parallels window is covered, the nay way to go back to it is by using Exposé - All windows (where it does show up).

    I've tried changing the setting for Dock icon from 'parallels icon' to 'guest os' and back again but no result.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks!

    Best regards,
    Theo-Paul van Kampen

    Hello Theo-Paul,

    Please go to VM configuration (http://kb.parallels.com/117287) > select Options > choose Full screen > Enable Use Mac OS X full screen

    Let us know how it works.

    It was already enabled.
    So I disabled it and that worked! I now have a nice icon and, more importantly, I can command-tab to the Parallels window.
    I've also re-enabled the full screen feature and the dock icon is still there. Apparently, the full screen checkbox has reset something somewhere.

    Thanks for your help!
    Regards,
    Theo-Paul
