Hello. I just installed Windows Server 2008 in VirtualBox, and it appeared
to proceed without a glitch. Even so, while installing updates to the OS
immediately afterwards, which took a good amount of time since there were so
many, it occurred that I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get back into the
process. In doing so I found that my pressing this key combination caused my
host OS to respond instead of the guest, and it appeared to take a few tries
before the guest responded correctly.  My status bar indicates that I should
use the Right Ctrl key to toggle between guest and host. How would this
normally work in connection with the key combination of Ctrl+Alt+Del for
switching in and out of a locked desktop on the guest? Thanks.


I believe you can send a CTRL-ALT-DELETE by pressing your HOST key in combination with the DELETE key (HOST key is the right-CTRL key by default, but it is configurable). Another option is to select the "Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del" macro on the Machine menu. Within and RDP session to Windows boxes I believe there is a similar method (like CTRL-ALT-END, or CTRL-ALT-INSERT).
