Windows 7 Windowed->Full Screen: Launches WMC

Hi all,

I did a quick search on this and came up with nothing. I have a 2011 MBP 15" running Lion with Parallels 7. When running my Win7 VM i sometimes exit fullscreen and go back to windowed mode, and then go BACK into Full Screen mode in Win7. Every time I do this it launches this annoying full screen Windows Media Center interface that looks ripped from iTunes. It slows down my VM and is really annoying.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is is that the key command I am using to go to fullscreen also launches WMP? How can I change that key command?

Thanks in advance everyone,

Aaron

 

+1 from me - this appeared after the PD 7 update. Had nothing to do with Lion so far as it didn't happened with Lion and PD 6.

 

I, too, saw this behavior start after I upgraded from P6 to Parallels 7. I'm running Build 7.0.14922. Windows Media Center is started when I switch back and forth between full screen mode and windowed mode. It happens on both my Windows 7 and Vista virtual machines.

 

Same here

I also have this annoying problem. I'll try to uninstall WMC.

 

It's because the shortcut to launch WMC in Windows is Windows key+alt+enter ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Windows-Media-Center-keyboard-shortcuts ).

Parallels now uses Ctrl+Cmd+F to switch to/from full screen.

 

Shortcuts sometimes suck

True. Found that out some minutes ago. Uninstalled WMC as I don't need that crap anyway. Let's if I get used to the new Parallels shortcut )
