    I would like to be able to swap the ALT/OPTION and COMMAND keys when using Windows on Parallels Desktop. I saw some posts about swapping CONTROL and COMMAND keys with some Windows registry changes, but I don't need to do that. Is there something equivalent so that the Mac ALT/OPTION key acts as my "Windows" key and the Mac COMMAND key acts as ALT key in Windows?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried for the last three weeks to unlearn my old habits, but twenty-five years of muscle memory is dying hard. All I've managed to do is start screwing up when I use my other Windows PCs. :)

    Thanks,

    Darren

    Bumping this topic.
    I have been swapping the keys in MAC System Preferences, but I only want them swapped when I am using an application in the Parallels/Windows environment.
    I, too, I am fighting years of muscle memory for Excel shortcuts.
    Thanks,
    Richard
