Nov 10, 2017  How to reinstall Parallels & Windows on Mac and remove BootCamp. Discussion in 'Installation and Configuration' started by Billymac231, Nov 9, 2017.

Two days ago I backed up my MBP with Super Duper and then did a clean install of Snow Leopard.
Installed VMware Fusion.
Installed my Mac applications including Unison. All of the RAR files are associated with XP on Parallels!
The only thing I can think of is that I had Parallels installed on my computer before and somehow when I had my Super Duper drive attached to my new install it picked up something from that?
How do I get rid of all this stuff? How do I set certain things like .exe fies to unknown (or at the very least Fusion)?

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.

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.

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:

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

Parallels For Mac Torrent

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.

Something that I use quite regularly that was in the last release of Parallels Access is the ability to move and copy files between my Mac and my tablet and phone. This has come in handy when I start a doc on my Mac, then realize I need a copy of it to review, put final edits on the doc, and send it even though I’m out of the office. With my iPhone in hand, I can launch Parallels Access, gain access to the files on my Mac system at the office, and pull down files, modify/edit the files, and then send them all right from my phone.

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

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.

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.

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.
