    Is there a way to set a preference so that if I enter Modality mode (CTRL-OPT-CMD-ENTER) from a FullScreen machine, that when I return I want to go back to fullscreen. Right now, going "back" always takes me back to Windowed mode.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    And I should have put the following in my original post:

    Host OS: Mac OSX 10.5.5
    Parallels Desktop 4.0 build 3540

    Parallels Desktop -Preferences - Keyboard
    default value is ALT+CMD+ENTER

    This might be an XP vs Win2K thing. With an XP machine ALT-ENTER returns from modality to full screen, but ALT-ENTER doesn't do this with a Win2K machine (and ALT-CMD-ENTER doesn't do anything at all). I'll experiment more when I have time and post full result here when possible.

    Just make sure you assigned correct keyboard profile to W2k VM,
    Check on Parallels Desktop -Preferences - Keyboard
