Switch between two virtual PCs

I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. How can I switch between the two
virtual PCs by using a hotkey?

Thank you!

Same way as you would switch between any two applications running in
Windows - Alt-Tab

Re: Switch between two virtual PCs

Mark,

Thank you for your reply! I found it works only the right Alt and Tab, not
the left Alt.

Does any one know how to make a customized hotkey, such as an F key? I am
going to use it as public computer and switch between two programs, both of
the programs have full screen covered and unable to use mouse click.

Thank you!

Lingzhen

Re: Switch between two virtual PCs

I find Right Alt -Tab does not work at Full Screen mode. Is it possible to
make the hotkey works in Full Screen?

Thanks,

Lingzhen

Re: Switch between two virtual PCs

You may try Left Alt key instead. This occurs because the Right Alt is the
host key.
