Launch VM automatically when Parallels Desktop is launched ?

Hi,

Is it possible to have Parallels Desktop automatically load a given Virtuaal Machine on startup ? My mother needs Windows only to use Microsoft Money 2005, and I'd like to configure Parallels so that she only has to launch the app to open Money.

Can anyone help ?

 

I do something similar with my Mac, Parallels and Quicken. In the Parallels Configuration editor there is a setting for Auto Start. In the Configuration Editor check the box for "Autostart VM when configuration is loaded". Thus, when you click on the Parallels Icon it will start and automatically load your guest OS. When in Windows, drag the Microsoft Money 2005 executable into the startup pane to automatically load Microsoft Money.

Let me know if you need more instruction. What you want is fairly easy to do.

 

Thanks Ajay, I missed the Auto Start option, it is very valuable !

Now, I have to find a way to have Money 2005 not closeable in Windows...

 

Is it possible to have Parallels automatically load and start multiple VM's on launch? There is only an option for "recently used VM"

Thanks.
