If you want to share a copy of running Windows XP with multiple users on one Mac, you sooner or later run into the problem where one user may have left Parallels running, so another user can't start it. There is an easy way to get around this, and although it may sound strange, it works great. By far the best way I've found to share a Parallels session is to run it in its own user space, and have the Mac users use the free (RDC) app to connect to it.

Just make sure that all the XP users have been added to the system's Remote tab, or they can't login. This works very well. If you want, you can add the IP address along with a host name to OS X's hosts file, so you can reference the VM by name. But that's another subject.
