    I am using Mac pro 10.5.5, Fn+delete can work as a delete key in windows 2003 ( parallels guest OS ) when you edit some files, such as .txt file or word , but it can't work in windows command line(start-> run cmd).

    we use command line a lot, so it is terrible for us.

    Anybody have any idea about this and is there any way to make the delete key (no Fn) just like the backspace in normal windows ?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Hello,

    this can be done through key mappings: Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse. Click on the "+" button, click on the above blank space and press the delete key (it should be recognized) and select Backspace in the drop-down list below.
