While I'm not 100% certain, as I uninstalled Parallels on my machine
(due to lack of use), I did install it on my wife's macbook last
night. I think when you set up Windows under Parallels you can choose
to share folders between them where "my documents" saves to the mac
home folder, "My Pictures" saves to the mac pictures folder, "My
Desktop" to desktop, etc.
I had it set up using coherence, and when she saved her files to the
desktop (some weird ECG program) they stayed on the mac desktop even
after windows was shut down and parallels was closed.
maybe that helps with your question...

I need professional opinions on this subjective question.
The man that does programming for me has a daughter attending the
University of Cincinnati. She uses a Mac but there are some courses
that require Windoze, so he loaded Parallels. All went well for
awhile and one night she shut down Windows and the next day it was
toast.
To their dismay they found that all the files were inside one huge
file, not individual files as you would need to find what you wanted
to recover. All her work was lost.
He then moved her to Boot Camp and now all the files are individual
as you would need. I don't really want to use Boot Camp for I need
to have a Mac program running while I use the one program inside
Windows, (Office Access database) so what is the solution? Did my
friend have this configured wrong and is there a way to have
Parallels save individual files?
The Windoze program that I will be using will be used for a short
time only, (until I can get the database written for a Mac) but it
is from a friend almost 400 miles from here so I don't want to take
a chance that something goes wrong and I am not close enough to
reinstall easily.
All ideas are sure welcomed.
