    I've successfully converted my Parallels VM and I even managed to install VMware tools successfully. However, I can't remove Parallels tools - it says that it must be run in a virtual machine when I try to remove it. I also still have Parallels Shared Folders appearing in Entire Network. How can I get rid of it?

    You need to remove the Parallels tools before converting Virtual Machine.

    Well it's too late now - the VM is already converted and running in VMware. There must be some way to manually remove the files & registry entries.

    1. Boot Windows in Safe Mode and Go to "My Computer" - "C" Drive - "Program Files" - "Parallels" folder and delete the "Parallels Tools" folder.

    2. Click the Windows "Start" menu -> "Run" and type "regedit". Hit OK.

    3. In Registry Editor, go to "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Parallels" and delete the "Parallels Tools" entry.

    4. Reboot Virtual Machine and check
