Where did "My BootCamp" come from?

    Hi all.

    I recently had to move my Windows VM file from one volume to another.

    Suddenly I have "My BootCamp" coming up as an option, along with the moved Windows VM.

    Boot Camp isn't even installed on my system, and sure enough, attempting to launch it fails. What is this option doing there? It adds an annoying step to the startup process, since I can't just launch Parallels and press Play to start Windows.

    Thanks for any insight.

    "My BootCamp" is a virtual machine that is automatically created by Parallels when no other virtual machines are available (I don't remember how it decides it needs to create it, since it doesn't always create it, but it is a Parallels "feature"). If you don't want the "My BootCamp" virtual machine, then just open the virtual machine and select "Delete..." from the "File" menu to delete it.
