Use Windows on Your Mac
Share Applications and Programs
You can access Mac OS X applications from within Windows and you can access Windows
programs from Mac OS X. For example, if you locate a file using the Open menu in a Windows
program and decide you would rather open the file using a Mac OS X application, you can.
If you opted to use Windows "Like a Mac" when you first installed Windows, sharing applications is
already enabled.
Enable Sharing Mac OS X Applications
When sharing Mac OS X applications is enabled, you can open Mac OS X Applications from within
Windows or Windows programs.
If not, you can enable it at any time by doing the following:
1 Do one of the following:
• Option-click (Alt-click) the Parallels icon
in the menu bar and choose Configure.
• If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Virtual Machine
> Configure.
2 Click Options and click Applications.
3 Select Share Mac applications with Windows.
Once sharing Mac OS X applications is enabled, you can do the tasks below.
Open a File from Windows in a Mac OS X Application
You can open a file in a Mac OS X application from Windows Explorer, from the Open dialog in
most Windows programs, or from Windows Desktop if Windows is set to appear in a separate
Window or at full screen (p. 55). You may want to do this if you don't have a Windows program that
can open the file.
• In Windows, right-click (or Control-click) a file and do one of the following:
• Choose Open on Mac from the shortcut menu. The file opens in the default Mac OS X
application for that file type.
• Choose Open With from the shortcut menu, and then choose an application.
Note: You can only perform these actions with files stored in shared folders (p. 65).
Open a Mac Application from the Windows Start Menu
From the Windows Start menu, do one of the following:
• Choose All Programs > Parallels Shared Applications, and then choose an application.
