    I have a Microsoft media keyboard, mouse and USB wireless receiver set that I would like to use on the Guest Windows 7 OS that I have installed. I've successfully installed the set, I say successfully in that I was able to type words and click on things, however the keyboard is using the Mac-layout even though I installed while running Windows in Parallels (e.g. I have to use the Windows Key+C to copy something, instead of Ctrl+Tab). I tried installing the IntelliType software, but that didn't help.

    I'd really like to be able to use the Windows-layout keyboard only when I am using Windows, and stick to my Apple Bluetooth keyboard the rest of the time, since I only use the Windows OS to remote-access my office computer (the way my company set up the remote user access is not Mac compatible...). I have a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that will be a hassle to translate to the Mac-layout.

    Can anyone help?

    Cheers in advance!!!
