Hi Kelly, I’ve been using VMware Fusion for quite some time now, too, and I’m happy, as you are, being able to simply toggle between the two OS’s with out rebooting. I read the short article you talked about, and I am interested in learning more about how you were able to map the context menu key. Which preferences do you go into, is it the main VMWare preferences or the settings for the individual machine. Also, what key did you assign?
