Parallels sharing apps with OS X when I don't want it to

[Feek]

I'm getting a bit miffed by Parallels 4.

I have an XP VM and despite whatever I do, it's offering applications into OS X.

For example, when I right click on a .nfo file on OS X, the default open application is Notepad in my VM.

I've gone into the VM config and disabled everything I can see regarding sharing - I don't want anything shared between OS X and Windows.

In Security, I have the slider set to High

In Shared Folders, everything is unticked.

In Shared Profile, everything is unticked.

In Shared Applications, everything is unticked.

I can't see any preferences that enables this sharing, but I don't want it!

Does anyone know how I can stop it?

I've been looking into this and I reckon it may be possible.

Within the VM package contents there's a folder called Windows Applications which has a load of files that may, or may not be shortcuts to the apps within Windows. I wonder if just blatting those will do it.

Or I could uninstall and reinstall Parallels Tools, but I don't recall a custom part of the install. I have asked the question on the Parallels forum and will see what they say, once my post actually appears after being moderated.

I have just removed and reinstalled Parallels Tools, there is no 'custom' option, it just does it!

/edit - I bit the bullet, deleted the Windows Applications folder within the package, removed the launchservices preferences file, rebooted and all done.
