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?
It is indeed the case that Parallels uses a big disk image file by default. However, it can also be set up to use a Boot Camp partition. This allows running Mac and Windows programs at the same time, unlike Boot Camp. When I did my demo at the LCS meeting a few months back, I showed Vista running off a Boot Camp partition and XP running off an image.
The advantage of an image is that it's dynamic, so you don't have to commit all the drive space at once. If you can spare the drive space, an image is probably the safer alternative.
