Alt & 3 = #
Alt & 3 = #
Pressing Alt+3 in the windows guest DOES NOT produce a # symbol, it does nothing.
After working through this problem with support I now have it resolved. Here is what I did in the end:-
Installed a custom version of the United Kingdom (Apple) keyboard input language layout:-
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43876768/United Kingdom (Apple).zip
(This ZIP includes the source code for the layout, ukapl.klc, and the setup, created using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 based on the United Kingdom (Apple) from bootcamp windows drivers. Installing this avoids the need to install the bootcamp windows drivers pack.)
Note that, this is a tweaked version of the Apple defined layout to move # from Ctrl+Alt+3 to Ctrl+3 to avoid menu bar flicker.
Then back on the host, in Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Shortcuts -> (select VM) -> Profile: Windows
I added a mapping for Alt + 3 to Ctrl + 3.
I can now press Alt+3 (or Ctrl+3) in my windows guest and get a # !!

I am not sure in what way you think your post helps? You didn't actually tell us what you did specifically (a "bit of mapping around" does not help any reader) or what "behaving as you'd like" actually is.
Anyway, I resolved my issue as explained in my previous post, so that now Alt+3 produces a # as per what I am used to when using a mac.

No need to be rude, I'm sure it would help some people to know that CTRL+ALT+3 = Hash in Windows 8 under Parallels desktop 8.
Then they could have a go at Mapping around(TM) themselves using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog under Parallels preferences to get their own desired output.
Cheers,
