Principles of Working With Parallels Desktop 45
The following devices have the icons on the status bar:
keyboard
floppy disk drive
CD/DVD drive
hard disk
network adapter
sound card
USB controller
shared folders
serial port
parallel port
If you see the
icon in the status bar, it means that Parallels Tools are installed in your virtual
machine.
If a device can be connected or disconnected at runtime (actually, most of the devices can be),
this can be done using the device's shortcut menu. Click the device icon to display its shortcut
menu and select the command. The picture below shows the shortcut menu for the CD/DVD
drive.
