Parallels is a worldwide leader in automation and virtualization software that optimizes computing for consumers, businesses, and service providers. It allows you to run Mac virtual machines and virtual PC.

I have Parallels Desktop 6 installed and after an upgrade to Lion I got a whole bunch of Windows app icons on Launchpad:

They look ugly and don't have a remove button.
They also don't exist in my Applications folder so I can't delete them from there either.

• In Part 1 of the Parallels Mac Management for SCCM series I installed the Parallels Configuration Manager Console Extension. I installed this on my site server ‘ConfigMgr’. Part 2 focused on the installation of the Parallels Proxy which I installed on a remote server called ‘Parallels’ which.
• We have a deal on a 1-year subscription to Parallels Toolbox for Mac and Windows. This software features more than 30 tools accessible from a single interface, including: Airplane Mode, Alarm.

How do I get rid of them?

I had the same issue initially. After upgrading to the latest version of Parallels (which also solved the virtualization issue), all Windows applications were moved to ~/Applications (Parallels) at the first start of Parallels and the icons now don't show up in Launchpad any longer.

The original LaunchPad Cleaner would clean up the icons, but running parallels would undo the cleaning. The updated LaunchPad Cleaner V2 corrects that reversion and works to more permanently clean these parallels icons from the LaunchPad view.

Jan 18, 2018  Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac is partially compatible on Mac OS X High Sierra. Mac OS VM with Apple File System(APFS) is not supported. Some minor issues were fixed in PD13. If you intend to upgrade your Mac to macOS High Sierra and keep using Parallels Desktop for Mac, we strongly recommend you upgrade to Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac. Here is the list of known issues we are working on with the available workaround that we have tested in our lab. Parallels 12 for mac download.

Two other workarounds options are also available:

• upgrade to the build that supports Lion, as suggested by patrix (free for v6 users);

• disable Windows application integration by right-clicking Parallels icon in Dock, selecting Configure.. for the running machine and unchecking Share Windows applications with Mac in Applications section:

  Of course this will also make these shortcuts unavailable on Mac.

I had Windows XP installed using Parallels.I got rid of the Parallels trial as I bought VMWare instead.

In order to clean up my LaunchPad I found that I had to find the following directory: 'Windows XP Applications' and delete it.

To find where the directory was I typed into spotlight 'internet explorer' without the quotation marks.
NOTE: To open the containing folder of 'internet explorer' I held down the Command key and click on 'internet explorer'.

I then dragged the folder 'Windows XP Applications' that was containing 'internet explorer' to the Trash Bin.

Then I opened a terminal session and typed the following:rm ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/*.dbsudo killall Dock

That cleaned up my LaunchPad.

Note it took about 10 to 15 seconds to for LaunchPad reindex the correct applications.

Launchpad-Control is what you're searching forhttp://chaosspace.de/dev/launchpad-control-hide-apps-from-launchpad/

VMWare has NO product for Mac OS X and has not announced one yet too. Parallels for mac security between os.

To delete for ever, simply go to Finder ->Applications ->My Bootcamp Applications.

Remove all links in there, and Launchpad will automatically remove them.

Normally, the links will still come back if you do a refresh reset, but this method should work.

Run Windows Programs On Mac

In your Application directory, there's a folder for virtual machine windows programs (it's hidden, or somehow not easily accesible). You can do a global search for the program name ('internet explorer' i.e), and go to the containing folder. Finally, remove the folder entirely.

Parallels 8 For Mac

I found a way to remove those annoying icons.

Download Launchpad Cleaner2. since it's a tryout it lets you only delete the first page and the default icons, like Safari.
So what I did was gathered all the Parallels icons into 3 folders and name them Safari2, then Launchpad Cleaner took it as default and I was able to delete them.

I’ve been running with Parallels for a while on my new Mac Intel system, and am really happy with it. But I really wish I could cut and paste between the Windows apps and the Mac apps, wish it would sync to the correct time, and so on. Is there some sort of Parallels equivalent to the old VMware “helper apps” that you’d install within the guest operating system? I’m running Windows XP.

There is indeed a helper application that you really do need to install if you’re running Parallels Desktop on your Intel Mac system, called, ingeniously enough, Parallels Tools.
To install it, start up Parallels Desktop on your Mac OS X system (if you don’t yet have this Intel Mac only tool, you can get a working demo copy of Parallels online: download the Parallels demo). You’ll need to have configured your virtual OS to include support for a CD/DVD drive, then log in to Windows XP as an administrator. If you don’t know what I mean, you probably are the admin for the WinXP system!
Now you’ll want to select “Install Parallels Tools…” from the VM toolbar that’s part of the Mac side of Parallels Desktop (that is, it’s not part of your guest OS):
