The application lives in /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/ Your virtual machines live in ~/Documents/Parallels/ (your Documents folder) So you'll want to make sure your 'user 1' documents folder is backed up to user 2 before you delete it. You can also archive the users folder (.zip) when you delete the user so you can restore it if things break > > Thanks. > > Stacy > _______________________________________________ > Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net > Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > > You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion > list. > If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members > page on the Hidden Tech Web site. > http://www.hidden-tech.net/members > > >
