Application folder after shutting down parallels

I am using parallels desktop 10 with yosemite 10.10.2.

Previously, application folder for windows was always on the dock (ie. application folder was on the dock regardless parallels was running or not) but when i have re-installed parallels, application folder only show up on the dock when VM is running and if i shut down VM then application folder will disappear from the dock.

Is there a way i can keep/stick the application folder on the dock regardless VM is running or not?

thanks

kyu

 

Hi Kim,
With your VM selected but not turned on under Actions - Configurations - Applications - Make sure you have Checked

• Share Windows applications with Mac
• Show Windows Applications folder in dock

Hope this information helps you.

 

thanks for the reply - however, options which you have mentioned are already checked but application folder still doesn't show when VM is turned off.

 

Please try knowledgebase instructions: http://kb.parallels.com/en/118744

For the alternate instructions *always back up your .pvm file before making any changes to permissions

 

hello, thank for the input. I have tried all and it still doesn't work. I tried reinstalling parallels and it still doesn't work. I have attached file showing parallels informing applications is removed from dock after shutting off VM. Maybe attached photo can give more help.

Thanks

Kyu
