Warning —

If you make a new VM with Parallels 10, the default setting of the Desktop will be to create a pointer to all the items on your OS X Desktop such that if you Delete anything on the Windows Desktop, IT GETS DELETED ON YOUR OS X DESKTOP TOO! (Don't worry, I didn't lose anything vital.)

Important: If you don't want Windows apps polluting your Mac side, disable Share Windows applications with Mac:
