I'm running Parallels 3
1-How do I share a folder on both system?
2-Can Picassa 'watch' a folder on OSX?
3-Any tips on sharing the internet connection i have on OSX?
Thanks

Another question also:
Is there a way to change the desktop icons size?

1) Parallels has a "Parallels Shared Folder" feature. Use that.
2) Don't know nuthin' about Picassa
3) Good question. What do you mean about sharing your Internet connection? Parallels virtualizes your network adapters, so you can surf under the VM's OS just as easily as you can in OS X. If you're wondering about sharing your Internet connection with another computer, the "best" way to do that is with an inexpensive router-and you should ask about that in our Networking forum.
Change icon size in which OS? You can do that from the XP desktop, as per the following instructions from this helpful page (which was a simple Google search away):
1. Right Click Desktop + Choose “Properties”
2. In the Properties Window click on the “Appearance Tab” at the top.
3. In the Appearance Window click on the button called “Advanced”
4. In the Advanced Appearance Window choose “Item:” from the drop down list and choose “Icon” and you can choose desired Icon size. By default many users will see 32 x 32 pixels but this can be changed to whatever you want.

Presumably the answer to 2 is yes providing the folder is in the parallels shared folder!!!

I do have a shortcut called 'parallels shaed folder' on my windows desktop, however when i try to open it it says '\\.psf not accessible'
I did create a shared folder on the old version of Parallels which i could run and which I can still see under the name 'shared mac pc on .psf' but when i click on it a window opens saying: connecting to .psf and prompting me for a password...

Actually I have the same issue as you. I previously ran Parallel 2.5 and everything was smooth and fine. I upgraded to 3.0 and that is just a nightmare.... I have drivers issues , video , API, DVD-R.... and the same issue. I can not access anymore files from PSF folder. The system prompt me for a Password which I have no clue what it is . I have tried my login password and the usual admin, pass, password, public names, none of them work. If you found the solution to your problem, please let me know, I cam getting nuts....

The Parallels Shared Folder takes some setup. Read the Parallels help on it for details. Once you set it up (basically telling Parallels where on your OS X partition to share that data), it's very user friendly.
