Hello people!!

I´m using paralles desktop 7 a lot for using Autocad under windows XP, as autocad for mac is not even booting up...

My problem is that I would like to have the F keys available on windows without having to press the fn key... so I can use these F keys on windows as if I was working on a normal windows PC. I want it to work so that if I want to have the mac functions on windows, I should press the fn keys, but only when parallels is focused. I want it to work normally when I´m on a mac app.

Any idea of how can I do this? is it posiible? thanks and best regards.
 
I think the VM inherits the Mac setting, so I don't think you can do this without changing the Mac Setting. If you change System Preferences | Keyboard | Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys you will get the effect you want, but it will work the same way in Mac applications (outside the VM) too.
