    Hello!

    I recently upgraded my mac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Now, in my Windows 7 VM (from my bootcamp partition) all my shortcuts are incorrect. Specifically, I have to use the fn key to trigger shortcuts. So, using cut went from command + x to fn + command + x.

    This is really messing me up. I tried recreating the VM (not reinstalling Windows 7) and that didn't work. Any advice on how to get my hot keys back to normal? I am using the newest version of parallels on a 2011 Macbook Air.

    In the virtual machine options, applications uncheck "Show Windows application folder in Dock" and wait until it finishes. Then check the box to enable showing the application folder in the dock. This will recreate the links, or at least it's worked for me.
