Thanks, Tony, but "been there, done that".
The list of OSX "Login Items" shows neither Parallels nor Win XP. Only iTunes, Firefox, XMarks.
Also, the advice on the Parallels Forum you googled doesn't work - I had previously done what it recommended, as mentioned (indented) below in my posting.
Any other ideas?
Jim

I use - occasionally - Win XP running on a "virtual machine" on my iMac OSX6 by using "Parallels" application.
Two problems: When working in the iMac OSX, and the Win XP is running, the iMac runs very slowly so I only want the Win XP to boot when I choose. However, from cold boot both Parallels app and Win XP automatically boot.
I would like to boot them, only when needed, from icon in the dock - but can't figure how.
What I've tried:
At icon in dock / right click / options / "Open at Log in" is UN checked - apps still boot
At icon in dock / right click / "Configure" / "Options" / "Start Automatically" box: "Never" is chosen - apps still boot.
And, problem number 2: on that same config menu: "Start-up View" box: "Window" is chosen - which I want - but it always starts in "Coherence" mode, which I don't want.
All "padlocks" show un-locked.
And I can't find where on the iMac I can delete (or add) items that start up at iMac boot. Must be somewhere!
In iMac "Finder" / Library / in "Start up items" is one folder: "Parallels Desktop Transporter" with 3 files:
llipc Executable File
ParallelsTransporter Executable File
Startupparameters.plist Document
Clicking on each of these shows small window with gibberage (to me).
The apps do not start up automatically when I awake the iMac from "Sleep"
Thanks for any help
