I will try to state this with some clarity, but it may sound like rubbish, as I don't know what I am talking about: I am attempting to open and edit files on my Host OS (OS X 4.10.11) with a program in my Guest OS (XP Pro sp2). Within the prog (SimPE), I browse and pick some from PSF/Mac HD folder (which have ".localized" attached to them), and the rest are in the Mac documents folder. I am repeatedly getting an error message that states "Cannot access a closed file" and says it's from a directory of compressed files. So Parallels compresses files to share them between Host and Guest OS? If so, Is there a way to uncompress them without opening them directly (giving a third party prog access to them)? Does the attached "localized" have anything to do with this? I'm confuzzled.

Hello Lethe, What exactly are you using SimPE for? Did you try to reinstall Parallels Tools? Best regards, Xenos
