    Hi I've downloaded the trial parallels software. I can't see my mac files from windows xp. Why is this? I've used parallels in the past and been able to access all my mac files when in parallels. How do I set this up? thanks

    You can also share windows folders with your Mac if you wish.

    Thanks I've sorted this now! I had done those settings you posted but for some reason the parallels tools hadn't been installed. Once I did that I was able to get the printer going and access the mac files from parallels.
