I only need to use parallels occasionally now and don't want it to start up automatically when OSX starts. I went to my user account to uncheck it there but it's not in the startup list. I set the VM to "never". It still starts up automatically. OSX 10.6.8 with Parallels 7. How can I disable auto startup?
I suggest you to reinstall Parallels. If it does not help - contact tech support at www.parallels.com/support
