The IT guys at my company set up my new laptop with the .pvm on the desktop and it's driving me crazy. How can I move it to its proper location in the Documents/Parallels folder?
 
Hi @KarenR2,

Please stop or suspend your virtual machine before following the steps below:

1. By default, virtual machine files are located either in Documents/Parallels folder inside your user folder, or in /Users/Shared/Parallels.
2. Copy the .pvm file to an external hard drive
3. Double-click on it to open the virtual machine.
 
Yes, I know that by default that's where the file should live. But that's not where my IT guys put it. They put it on my desktop.
When I tried to move it to the Documents/Parallels folder (drag and drop), it didn't work any more.
I do not want to move it to an external hard drive. I want it on the same hard drive it's on, just in the proper location.
 
Arun - The latter. After I drag and drop, the .pvm file is not working. When I click on it, Parallels just comes up with a ?. Also, when I drag and drop it, Parallels auto-created a replacement .pvm on the desktop.
