Principles of Working With Parallels Desktop 31
The Welcome Window
When you start Parallels Desktop for the first time, the Welcome window appears. This window
provides you with a fast access to the most common Parallels Desktop dialogs and assistants,
which is especially useful when making your first steps in Parallels Desktop. When Parallels
Desktop is running, you can open the Welcome window by selecting Welcome to Parallels
Desktop from the Help menu.
Later on, if you do not want to see this window again, just disable the Show at startup option at
the left bottom corner of the window. Next time you start Parallels Desktop, you will see the
Parallels Virtual Machines list (p. 36) if you have one or more virtual machines registered in
Parallels Desktop, or New Virtual Machine Assistant (p. 76) if you have no virtual machines
registered.
