maybe there is a simple solution for my asking: when parallels newly installed an having set the windows7 guest-os, there was a c-drive to be seen on the mac-desktop named "windows7" - this i could access from either side. now its vanished. i tried what is described in the manual - shared etc - but it still isn't to be seen anymore. i once ejected ist, just like the manual proposed, so it should reappear when parallels is restarted. it does not. how can i get back the c-drive-icon on the mac-desktop. as my parallels-version is german and my english is far from fluent, it would be helpful to keep any advice, if there is such provided, in a simple manner (for dummies ;-) thanky alot.
