After getting rid of my dogs-body windows machine which complimented my Macbook Pro at work, I started using Parallels 6 for all my Windows needs. However, I was a bit confused that I couldn’t press Control+Alt (Option)+Delete on my Apple keyboard to send the Control+Alt+Delete signal to Windows to log in. Going via the menus – Devices -> Keyboard -> Ctrl+Alt+Delete – got very old, very fast.
After a bit of search and buried deep in a forum archive, I found that the following key combination will send the correct signal to Windows: Control+Option(Alt)+Command+Function(Fn)+Delete. Granted, it’s like mashing both palms on the keyboard at the same time, but it does the job.
