Hi everybody! I'm trying to accomplish something in a weird setup and can't seem to be able to find a solution. Here's the setup: I'm running Parallels Desktop 8 on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.4. In Parallels there is a Windows 7 (64bit) instance. Within that Windows 7 instance I'm connected via remote desktop to a Windows XP machine. My aim is to take screenshots of windows within that WinXP machine. According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301583/en-us#method9 the keyboard shortcut for taking screenshots of windows on remote desktops would be Ctrl+Alt+Plus sign (+). This doesn't however work for me yet as I haven't found a method to send this shortcut to Windows 7 within Parallels. I could install additional software on the Mac or in Windows 7, not however on WinXP. So, does anyone have a solution or at least an idea how I could proceed? Thanks!
You could simply use the Mac screenshot shortcuts: command-shift-3 or command-shift-4. You could install Snagit in Windows (my favorite screen capture app). Steve
I use command-shift-4. My guests are extremely minimal, and I like Mac tools better for screen shots.
