How to stop start menu appearing when CMD key pressed

I thought PD4 fixed this with its keyboard shortcut settings but I can't seem to get it to work. I've gone to Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse and I first unchecked the entry for Cmd-Win but that did nothing. So then I deleted and still; nothing. If I press Cmd in OSX, the windows menu appears.

How do I stop this happening?

 

you can turn it off in Parallels Desktop menu -> Preferences-> Keyboard & mouse

 

Um, that's exactly what I said I did in my question. It doesn't work for me.

 

jeffdl, on my system I remapped the keys a bit. I wanted the physical layout of a windows keyboard when using windows apps. So I have remapped cmd to alt and alt to win.

It's confusing when you look at the keyboard, but the key that says "command" is actually now the windows "alt" key (and is physically in the same place as on a windows keyboard) and the key that says "alt/option" is actually now the windows "windows" key (and is physically in the same place as on a windows keyboard). But if you have used windows for 10 years and do it without looking at the keyboard, physical location is more important than what the keycaps say.

In this setup, pressing command does not pop up the start menu. Perhaps this would work for you too? If you don't want the windows start menu to appear when the mac "alt/option" key is pressed, don't remap that key, just remap the command key.

thanks. Yes, if I remap Cmd to something harmless (Home is what I chose) then I get the outcome I want. Deselecting Cmd or deleting it from parallels keyboard prefs though does not work and that is a bug. THis workaround of mapping it to some other function will get me by though. Thanks.
