    Sorry if this is somewhere in the documentation, I'm sure it is but I have no clue what terms to look up.

    So I have Parallels 4 and of course, all my Windows programs are listed under my Mac apps. This gets especially frustrating because sometimes a file type which I can play perfectly well with a Mac app has a Windows app as the default, and I have to manually change it (which, BTW, doesn't always work - a couple of times recently I've found that somehow the file associations were switched back to Windows apps - ??).

    I have no need to use my Vista apps through Mac - if I want to use a Vista program, I'll open Parallels myself. This app integration is just getting in the way. How do I get rid of these?

    Thanks!
