Would you consider the option to automatically load certain VMs automatically after the Mac OS is started and hide Parallels/the VM in the Dock - effectively enabling to switch to the VM by choosing Parallels from the Dock? I really would like to have something done by Parallels on that as I would not be interested in the workarounds that can be made (and are mentioned in the Forum, on other threads). Is it the experience of other users well that Parallels does not go with the Automator? I tried to record a script 3 times and either Parallels crashes or the Automator does not record the particular steps properly.
