Uninstalling Parallels Tools in Windows Guest OSes

To uninstall Parallels Tools in all Windows guest operating systems except Windows NT and sound driver for Windows 98, you should activate the same wizard as when installing. Do the following:

1. Select Install Parallel Tools in the Parallels Workstation VM menu.
2. Parallels Tools Setup wizard performs the diagnostics of the operating system and asks Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components? Click Yes to begin the process.
3. After the wizard removes the tools, the Uninstallation Completed window asks if you want to restart the computer now. Accept the selected option and click Finish. The Virtual Machine will be restarted.
4. After the OS is started up, the System Settings Change screen asks Do you want to restart your computer now? Click Yes. When the Virtual Machine is restarted once more, the tools are completely uninstalled.

Note: After uninstalling Parallels Tools and restarting the Virtual Machine, the guest operating system may display a warning that it should be restarted once more. In this case restart the guest operating system one more time to ensure its correct functioning.
