Hi Suzy, Parallels Desktop allows to encrypt the Virtual Machine (.pvm file) on your Mac Hard disk, it is used to protect your data from unauthorized access. WARNING: We strongly encourage you to make a backup of the Virtual Machine http://kb.parallels.com/8829 before starting encryption process. To encrypt Windows (it must be shut down) : 1. Select Windows and click Actions > Configure > Security. 2. On the Security tab, click Turn On, specify a password, and click OK. Note : The specified password is very important. You must record it. Without this password, you can't start Windows.
