I don't have and have never used Parallels but I suspect it's being  
nice and letting you share your desktop between OS X and XP. I imagine  
you have a few choices:

a) Find the option in Parallels, if such a thing exists, to switch off  
the Desktop linking/sharing
b) Hold down the Control key when taking the screen shot yo copy to  
the clipboard instead - this is not supposed to save it as a file so  
I'm not sure why you're getting one!?
c) Move the picture to a 'screenshot' folder somewhere other than your  
Desktop
d) Use the Grab application and then save your image elsewhere

"One way of explaining this is to say that parents are put in a  
difficult ethical situation. Here we are, through our own actions,  
creating a worse world for our children. When people have a dissonance  
between what they believe and what they do, they either change what  
they believe, or change what they do. And the tendency for most people  
is to reconfigure what they think about climate change, and to think  
'maybe it's not that bad'." - George Marshall
