Integrating Mac OS X and Your Virtual Machine 161
You can also create aliases for your favorite Windows applications on Mac OS Desktop and add
their icons to the Dock.
To create an alias for the application and add its icon to the Dock:
1 Start your Windows virtual machine.
2 Start any of your favorite Windows applications in the virtual machine. When the
application is started, its icon appears in the Dock.
3 To create an alias for your favorite Windows application, right-click the application icon in
the Dock, and select Keep in Dock from its shortcut menu.
The application alias appears on the Mac OS desktop. It will be available from the Dock even
when the virtual machine is stopped. If you double-click this alias when the virtual machine is
turned off, the virtual machine and the corresponding application in it will start automatically.
Sharing Windows System Tray Icons With Mac OS X
To extend the integration between Mac OS X and a Windows guest operating system installed in
the virtual machine, you can share Windows system tray icons with Mac OS X in the Coherence
and Crystal view modes. After sharing, the icons will be displayed in the Mac OS X menu bar in
the Coherence and Crystal view modes and you will be able to use the system tray applications
by clicking these icons.
To share Windows system tray icons, you need to configure the Crystal & Coherence view
modes settings (p. 194).
