Problem editing VM

I have set my virtual machine to automatically startup when parallels starts and to automatically shut down when I quit parallels. The only problem is I now can't seem to work out how I go about editing the configuration of the VM as I can't get to a point where I have parallels running but the VM not. Is there a workaround?

 

Just hold down the Apple key when you open the VM and it won't start automatically.

 

Thanks. That works. I knew there had to be a simple way.
