    Hello,

    I'm new to this forum so excuse me if this question was already posted.

    I've been using Windows through Parallels on my Mac for quite a long time and I've found out I have to change the configuration of the VM quite often since I use the VM for different things. Is it possible to create 2 different configuration profiles for my VM so that I can run a machine on a previously set up profile?
    The 2 main configurations I am interested in are:

    - If I want to use just one program from the VM such as Excel for Windows or MS Access, I would like my VM to start in a coherence mode and set for only using 1GB of my mac's RAM and, let's say, one processor core.
    - Sometimes, I need to do some work using only Windows, so in this case I would like my VM to start in a Full Screen mode and with full computer performance (8GB RAM and 4 CPU cores).

    So is it possible to have such 2 different profiles with different links (shortcuts) in my Dock?

    Thank you for any help!
    BC.
