    Hello,

    I have Win2k running in Parallels 3.0 build 5608.

    I set the preferences in Parallels to map Command+ZXCVAF.

    However pressing and releasing 'command' without doing anyting pops up the "Start" menu of the guest OS and MY APPLICATION LOSES FOCUS.

    I desperately need a way to prevent this, I want NO DAMN WINDOWS KEY!! When I work with a real PC I allways attach a keyboard with no windows key.

    Does anyone have an idea if this can be done via preferences or keyboard mappings?

    Best Regards,

    Angelo Schneider

    BTW somethig related (seeing all the posts about key and keyboard issues): is it impossible to route the "Mac Keys" into the guest OS?

    I mean, why can't I type the key combination for a '{' etc. on my Mac keyboard? Why do I need to know where it is in the guest OS (Sorry, I'm a noob, no idea what the problem is, thats why I ask ^^)??

    Do you have Parallels Tools installed?
